Absolutely, although the children riding a teatray down a flight of steps would make the Health and Safety Police have kittens.

Yeah, no kidding. Their parents would definitely be getting a visit from CPS… as soon as they were done browbeating the parents of the kids jumping off the roof with umbrellas.

That is true. My kids can’t do any of the things that I used to do. Sad!

These really were the good ole days! My sister & I used to bake! All 5 of us loved Bumper Cars! But the kitty cat will always be there for us when either of us get bored!
Peace, love & fun times for all,
