simple pleasures of youth in 1950's Alabama......cousins Charlene and Larry, struggling to get into a simple tree swing.....the 'back yard' had a badminton court, of sorts; a horseshoe tossing strip, a croquet area, a 150 foot 'gardening strip'; a couple of tree swings and a ladder to the branches...to climb around on; a couple of galvanized tubs of water to 'play' in; pet dogs, cats, and a rooster and chicken that I purchased before Easter @ Kress' or Woolworths for a quarter each; ......but no other paraphernalia other than our imaginations to keep us entertained........Then....came TELEVISION.....marketing just about everything one could 'want'....as it is now! We're living in a material world more than one of imagination.......
