Nicki and family two houses down. We (Pat and I) played with Nicki and her sister in their house and on their treehouse in back (where I fell off, when I was pretending I was a super hero and sliced my lip open). On that note, I do remember mom and dad reading books to me in the hospital as I was getting my lip sewn up. I enjoyed that one on one time with my parents and the books they read to me.
Once in the basement of Nicki's family we all talked about tasting dog food and some of us tried it. I'm not sure that I did but I thought that was fun.
There was a house on the corner that had pet bunnies. It was fun to go watch them. One of the girls from this house babysat us once in a while.
One holiday we played with sparklers at the house across the street. I recollect that the boys in this house were a little wild and sometimes mean.
We used to play in our backyard on our swingset and we would see how many salt-tene crackers we could put in our mouth, and then we would talk and blow all the crackers out. I got a kick out of that, we thought we were cookie-monster.

The Devereuxs were the neighbors. Do you remember their mom Tonie? We still keep in touch. She was pretty funny.
Wow, I dont remember most of those. You must have a much better memory than I do. I do remember the tree house though. My memory is not the cleanest... I remember the girl my age, was it Rachel? We were playing doctor and she took all her clothes off. We were examining her when Mom and her mom saw what was going on....! Naughty little kids!
