Settled down by my cousins, enjoying the cool Kansas breeze, laughing, joking, and relaxing. Mom’s outside with Aunt Grace talking about God knows what while the kids were laughing in the living room. I remember talking to my cousin Ronald about what we should do outside to either ride our bikes, walk around the neighborhood, play tag, just do something active since we were young with enthusiasm and optimism about what else is out there in life for children to do in their spare time.
