But, I grew up in a neighborhood of boys so I played baseball, kickball, and dodgeball.&nbsp; There was an older lady that lived near us and every summer her granddaughter would come and stay for a month or so.&nbsp; One day we decided to have a rock throwing contest - throwing from the end of the driveway towards the house.&nbsp; Little did I know at that time I could throw that far.&nbsp; One throw and right through a window my rock went.&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><FONT face="batang,apple gothic" size="4" color="#99CC00">My bike always had streamers and sometimes cards on the spokes.&nbsp; The summer when I graduated from training wheels I still hadn't grasped the idea or the how to put on the brakes.&nbsp; When I would get to the end of the street I would jump off the bike, run home, and tell that the bike was laying in the intersection or across the street.&nbsp; I wasn't allowed to cross the street myself.&nbsp; But, when I did get the hang of it I got a brand new bike.&nbsp; It was turquoise.&nbsp; I was so happy that I knew how to ride and stop that I would pedal up and down the street laughing like Woody Woodpecker over and over again.&nbsp; I am sure it was annoying to our neighbors but they never said a word.</FONT></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><FONT face="batang,apple gothic" size="4" color="#99CC00">There was the summer when I was very young that I was signed up to take swimming lessons.&nbsp; I hated getting in the pool and going underwater and all the kicking.&nbsp; I decided I would hang out in the changing room and just take a shower to appear wet before going home.&nbsp; It didn't help that the manager of the swimming pool was our neighbor.&nbsp; He was quick to tell my parents that I was absent from lessons.&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><FONT face="batang,apple gothic" size="4" color="#99CC00">No matter how hot and humid it was we played outside.&nbsp; We didn't have air conditioning so you didn't notice the difference.&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><FONT face="batang,apple gothic" size="4" color="#99CC00">Since I have a summer birthday all the boys were invited.&nbsp; When it came to singing Happy Birthday I would cry.&nbsp; I guess I didn't like the attention on me.</FONT></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><FONT face="batang,apple gothic" size="4" color="#99CC00">A lot of my memories come from summer and there are many more I could share but the post would be way too long.</FONT></P> Wed, 21 Jun 2023 16:12:16 GMT Sassy7356 2023-06-21T16:12:16Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Among-Friends/Every-Summer-Has-a-Story/m-p/8018829#M644620 <P><IMG src="https://d3k81ch9hvuctc.cloudfront.net/company/TDkHZN/images/15f0c1b6-28de-4165-847e-83eb5b6dc58d.jpeg" border="0" /></P> Wed, 21 Jun 2023 01:05:33 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Among-Friends/Every-Summer-Has-a-Story/m-p/8018829#M644620 Sassy7356 2023-06-21T01:05:33Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Among-Friends/Every-Summer-Has-a-Story/m-p/8018830#M644621 <P><IMG src="https://scontent-msp1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/36989006_10157567191379746_6285481339714011136_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=2c4854&amp;_nc_ohc=DdJw8CXV1UYAX92pcmV&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-msp1-1.xx&amp;oh=00_AfBdnbmWXNqTCSF6LsK0Fslo14CdsZfKc0DnG7qOBusZOQ&amp;oe=64B9BB89" border="0" alt="No photo description available." /></P> Wed, 21 Jun 2023 01:06:24 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Among-Friends/Every-Summer-Has-a-Story/m-p/8018830#M644621 Sassy7356 2023-06-21T01:06:24Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Among-Friends/Every-Summer-Has-a-Story/m-p/8018832#M644623 <P><IMG src="https://scontent-msp1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/341044211_1181139265881492_8729788115238479609_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=5cd70e&amp;_nc_ohc=pwNx521vAncAX9CzwTU&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-msp1-1.xx&amp;oh=00_AfDRkBOe2Ap9p4OdXzx6_X_yC2fIyHTAwjjOWXq3I5iffQ&amp;oe=6496A216" border="0" alt="May be a doodle" /></P> Wed, 21 Jun 2023 01:07:21 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Among-Friends/Every-Summer-Has-a-Story/m-p/8018832#M644623 Sassy7356 2023-06-21T01:07:21Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Among-Friends/Every-Summer-Has-a-Story/m-p/8018833#M644624 <P><IMG src="https://scontent-msp1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/340791028_186807407047929_3139357429385092313_n.jpg?_nc_cat=111&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=5cd70e&amp;_nc_ohc=PGOV7DDdqckAX9c8UIu&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-msp1-1.xx&amp;oh=00_AfBSFpfXYVRdTVqnDTtPkCkpjdjPdtJBgl1A9LxzvWX97A&amp;oe=6497058A" border="0" alt="May be an illustration" /></P> Wed, 21 Jun 2023 01:08:13 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Among-Friends/Every-Summer-Has-a-Story/m-p/8018833#M644624 Sassy7356 2023-06-21T01:08:13Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Among-Friends/Every-Summer-Has-a-Story/m-p/8018835#M644626 <P><IMG src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/ff/7e/e3/ff7ee3fcd01e7800bf67fcccba05073e.jpg" border="0" /></P> Wed, 21 Jun 2023 01:10:42 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Among-Friends/Every-Summer-Has-a-Story/m-p/8018835#M644626 Sassy7356 2023-06-21T01:10:42Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Among-Friends/Every-Summer-Has-a-Story/m-p/8018836#M644627 <P><IMG src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/e5/7e/93/e57e93746af355f0cda6f67b3fe7d46c.jpg" border="0" /></P> Wed, 21 Jun 2023 01:11:49 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Among-Friends/Every-Summer-Has-a-Story/m-p/8018836#M644627 Sassy7356 2023-06-21T01:11:49Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Among-Friends/Every-Summer-Has-a-Story/m-p/8018837#M644628 <P><IMG src="https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.shopify.com%2Fs%2Ffiles%2F1%2F2588%2F7566%2Ffiles%2Fimage_65f14821-edc8-4d41-9d0b-fd756c17c416_530x%402x.jpg%3Fv%3D1684316705&amp;f=1&amp;nofb=1&amp;ipt=5a431f69cd92db09fa467c87b5d902c96c0c2ccbb34e7820a9109eadcf8d2065&amp;ipo=images" border="0" alt="Handmade HELLO SUMMER Organic Cotton Wall Hanging - Goose &amp;
