At my reunion, we talked about how lucky we were to grow up when and where we did. Yes, 50 years hence .... who can even guess?Lyniluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742585512852240355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-61499386749926792742012-11-11T17:36:52.310-07:002012-11-11T17:36:52.310-07:00Just wavin' HI! :)

You talk of the wonders of a vacant lot and yet so many of today's kids know nothing of this world of make believe and the freedom that was associated with those worlds. I wonder what they will write in 50 years?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-13567559874269726662012-11-10T22:24:08.454-07:002012-11-10T22:24:08.454-07:00Thank you, Friko.

I just looked them up on Google - "moon shoes" or "jump shoes" seem to be the formal name.
