But not many. There really weren't that many kids on the street! Then we moved out to 40 acres in the middle of nowhere. That was awesome. My siblings and I have very fully developed imaginations from hours spent playing in the woods.<br /><br />Then we moved to a different town and while we do live "in town" on a street with other houses, there's only one other family on the street that has kids. We know them pretty well and we played together a lot. But we had to be really careful when played or even rode our bikes around the horseshoe because there was a nosy Nellie neighbor who would've had no qualms about reporting my parents to child services. One of the hazards of homeschooling, unfortunately.Rachel Leigh Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16004728242824462126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960946442922071473.post-88619952645313731872010-07-03T09:33:59.017-07:002010-07-03T09:33:59.017-07:00I grew up as a child in the 70's in suburbia b...I grew up as a child in the 70's in suburbia but I and my family knew just about every single neighbor on our block. Almost every mother was at home during the day and there were kids in almost every house that I could play with at just about any time. I felt bad for my own kids in the late 80's and early 90's when they didn't have that, although they did have a couple of friends on our street. Now as a grandparent, my grand daughter lives in the quietest neighborhood! There is almost no sign of humankind during the day because everyone is at work and the kids are at daycare. Oh, and by the way, I didn't have air conditioning until I was a teenager although we did have screens on our windows LOL.

However, it was only the fall of Rome; other countries and their peoples flourished long after they disappeared. It is sad, but everything, good or bad must come to an end someday. By going back and learning how to survive without modern conveniences, though, we may be the saviors after the change.Renee of the Faehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13081022805749169331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960946442922071473.post-43701064850219098812010-07-02T20:32:21.667-07:002010-07-02T20:32:21.667-07:00Great post!
