I haven't had much to say in a while. It's been a lot of the same for me. Busy busy busy. The summer is just flying by with activities, but all good so far. I've been spending a lot of time up at the ball park to watch baseball games, which has me reminiscing a lot about when I was a kid and playing up there myself. I really miss those days. Life was so much simpler then. I miss having a summer that consisted of riding my bike around town, swimming at the pool, and playing softball. I really miss those times. With that being said, I am going to try my hardest to win the lottery and retire early so I can re-live my childhood, because here are the things I miss most about it:

1. Swimming at the pool uptown from 1-5 and 7-9 every single day all summer long (and if I win the lottery I can pay to restore it and do it again).

2. The house we lived in on Fayette street that is next door to my mom's house now (and if I win the lottery I will buy it back just so I can go hang out in it whenever I want to and remember how much I loved it).

3. Sleeping in.

4. Walking to the Frosty Haus (Cruiser's now) and getting ice cream at random times during the day.

5. Riding my bike all around town.

6. Actually having time to read books and magazines.

7. Sitting on the front porch in the evening watching traffic go by without a care in the world.

8. Climbing trees.

9. Going out to my Grandma Ziegler's house and doing all kinds of awesome activities.

10. NOT having to work.
