11. Thanks IrishAyes

Merry Christmas to you too, dear friend.
Reading your post made me realize again, how different things are today with our children. Now-a-days, we don't allow our kids to freely play outside without supervision. Before I was even 10, I'd ride my bike for miles, by myself the whole entire day. My parents and my friends parents usually didn't have a clue where any of us were for hours. Sending them alone, to the store is taboo now.

I'm glad that storekeeper lost out for taking advantage of kids. That's a low-life, huh?

Btw, when I say less than 5 mins away, that's only by car.... Not walking, unfortunately. Before that it was a long 12 hour drive! So we moved to this gawd-awful red area of Fl. to be closer. The whole family are dems, so we all suffer in silence, (except on FB), licking each other's political wounds....
