Heads or Tails Summertime Memory
Oh no! My skimming got me into trouble again. The post below is for next weeks Heads or Tails. This week’s theme is Summertime Memory.
Since this is TAILS your summertime memory needs to be a real memory of yours. It can be a childhood memory, a memory from teens years or later. It can even be from last week.
One of my favorite summertime memories is making picnic lunches for my kids and letting them eat their lunch outside. I had old lunch boxes that I would pack with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and koolaid. We would put a blanket in the yard and eat our lunch. Something simple like that sure did make my kids happy.
Another memory I have of summertime is from when I was in the 7th grade. We lived with our grandmother in Washington state while my dad was in Vietnam. Many kids worked in the fields as their summer job. I picked cucumbers and strawberries. I felt rich at the end of summer!
I have opinions about everything. I do get compensated for some of my opinions. I'd love to hear your opinion on the things I discuss. Please leave me a comment. For more information about my disclosure policy click

Picnic lunches in the backyard are the best. I think the only thing better is making a tent by tossing a sheet over a table and eating in your “fort.” COOOL idea packing the food in lunch boxes. That makes it all more official.
I liked picking blackberries, grapes, raspberries.. things you didn’t have to bend over for. Maybe that was the beginning stages of me being a PC Potato?

My mom made some fantastic strawberry jam the other day with the strawberries she raised in her garden. I just love her garden and I love spending time in the shadow of the trees. These are really great memories, thx for posting.

Hey! I had that very same lunch box as a kid. Back-yard picnics are a favorite here for my kids as well.

Smells that come around in spring and fall remind me of my childhood. I love in Florida though, summertime here is miserable!

I loved those old metal lunchboxes! We didn’t have kids backpacks like they do today. I suppose they’re pretty cool as they make it easier to carry your stuff.
