Using my blog to try and make the world a better place. If I can make someone forget their troubles for a few minutes a day, it's all worth it.

I watch the ripples change their size, but never leave the stream of warm impermanent sand. So the days flow through my eyes but still the days seem the same. And these children that you spit on as they try to change their world are immune to your consultations. They're quite aware of what they're going through.

Sing a song, sing out loud, sing out strong.

Sing a song, sing out loud, sing out strong.
Sing of good things, not bad. Sing of happy, not sad. Sing a song, make it simple to last your whole life long. Don't worry that it's not good enough for anyone else to hear, just sing a song.

I always wanted to live at a place that had a little garden with a pathway to a pond. Never happened, though. Well, maybe someday...

Rebound:

I received this game in the Christmas of either '71 or '72. I'd forgotten all about it until today. It was never really a favorite of mine, but my folks liked playing with it. Sometimes I think that's the only reason they got it for me. That's okay, parents gotta play too every once in awhile.

My mother picked one of these up at a yard sale a few years ago. Wonder if it is your old one? hahaha She liked playing it, so you might be right about the parents liking this one.

Hahaa
Mom threw mine away years ago. She always said "if you're not using it, throw it out".
There weren't many games of mine she liked playing, but rebound was one.

I love looking at old games and toys. I wish I'da kept alot of my stuff, too, but my mom was a "pitcher", like yours, apparently.

I'd like to throw out some of mom's stuff and see how she likes it..
