We're having our first kind-of-real snow today. It's that typical pretty snow that will be gone tomorrow.
Are we all getting ready for Thanksgiving?

Growing up in Jordan?
Okay I grew up in a small village, Old Forge, NY. It was the greatest place to grow up however I imagine it was different than growing up in the Village of Jordan. I'm sure growing up in Jordan was also great but different.
Old Forge early-mid 1950's to mid 1960's. We had local ski hills (Maple Ridge and I think Alpine ??), eventually McCauly Mountain came around to being. We also had a hot skating rink. Of course in the summer there was the Old Forge beach and the woods. Ski lessons and swimming lessons were kind of mandatory too.
Girl scouts and boy scouts were mandatory as was Sunday school. Friday night basketball games, the annual Snow Ball. I don't recall fights however I was a girl so maybe I wasn't around when they happened. No one liked the Spanish teacher, she had long finger nails and it hurt when she grabbed your arm! School lunches were 20 cents and they had the greatest apple crisp on earth....as a matter of fact I still use that recipe. Oh! We had a local drug store like you see on tv where the local teens hung out.
And those wonderful 45's. Mid to late 1960's brought us Friday Night Fright Theater (or something like this) with Baron Damone (Maybe Mike Price played this part?). We used to watch these at VanAuken's in Thendara which is now known as VanAuken's Inne.
Enough on my growing up......Won't you share stories about where you grew up? Even if it wasn't in the village of Jordan we want to hear about it. Any time, anywhere.
