When I was a child, I had to use my imagination alot to enjoy
playing outside, or even inside. I made mud pies when it
rained and had tea parties, and played with paper dolls. I played "Annie, Annie Over" with neighbors and a ball. Or we played school, doctor, dress up, & in tree houses with a minimum of things. We didn't have many store bought
toys. Those were not necessities. So what we got for Christmas, had to be taken care of to last.
I remember later as a teenager, our dad bought a croquet
set, and that was a big deal for us to play in the backyard.
Times were changing, and soon we'd even have a colored TV.
But the 40's thru the mid 50s' were more times of struggle for many families. So I'd like to hear, how it was for just we seniors having to rely on improvising and using our imagin-
ations to have fun during those times.
