I would love to go back and spend time with my Grandparents on my mom's side. Getting to stay when I was not in school for the week. Me and Grandpa going to check the irragation ditch and him with his Model 25 on the seat and riding in that 1964 Ranchero. Grandpa would look down the irragation ditch and find Mallards and coast up close and jump shoot them. I would love to smell that gunpowder and the cold air.

Other than a failing body from age and abuse I'd have to say right now. I can finally afford (without guilt) the things I'd like to do, watching my grown children getting their lives sorta straightened and retired and owning a business I manage not that I'm managed in.
But most of all I have experienced God bringing me through so many tough times, so many life and death close calls and the struggle of a child with mental health issues that my trust in Him is complete. I know I will still be challenged. But I know because He has delivered me in the the past, He will in the future.
That peace of mind and spirit is priceless.

Growing up in the 50’s……. Yes, the 1950’s……. Was the time. No one locked their houses or cars. The ignition has a switch that was never locked. Color TV hit the market and only one or two shows were in color. No electronics! Walk to school and back. Summer you would jump on your bike and not get home till dinner….. do NOT be late. You ate as a family and ate what mom cooked. Played ball in the streets, played in the woods. BB gun fights…. don’t tell mom and dad. Sundays at my Nannie’s and with a big Italian family!! Winters in KC Mo we ice skated and rode sleds. Shoveled sidewalks for $0.25. Played pool and ping pong in the basement and even shot our bows and 22’s. Everyone’s parents keep an eye on you. I could go on for hours but hope this gives you an idea.

not because of anything going on in life, but back in the 90s before technology. before internet, cell phones and such were common. Life was so much more relaxed and laid back. yes I was a kid, but even my parents lives were so much simpler and outdoor centered. Look back at hunting before the technology and scent control and attractants and gps and such. Just good times. I still love deer camp, but I also miss deer camp of the old days. I am guilty I cant hardly sit on a stand without my phone anymore, This year one of my goals is to hunt with no phone.
