My favorite cousin – Double the trouble double the fun
| For my Cuz ( old blog) |
| My little sister found my Cousin on myspace…it was a good day…Actually, When I think about childhood I have give props to my cousin Raymie..AKA Ray. Everyone has a story about what was so bad about childhood. People always like to recall all the BAD stuff. Well, when I think about childhood…yes some of the crappy stuff comes to mind but I also like to recall all the good about it too. My cousin and I were very close in age and my other cousins were older then us. Since we were the youngest of the clan, we usually hung out together. We did some pretty funny and crazy stuff. I still laugh for hours when we talk about the stuff we did. He was a crazy kinda kid and I loved going to my aunts house to have fun. A few things… I would show up and Raymie would rush me out to the freezer in the garage and show me the big black ants that he was freezing in the freezer, or show me how to burn them up with a magnifying glass. We would run all over the neighborhood finding what kind of trouble we could get into only to stop off at the friendly neighbors across the street, knock on the door and when they answered we would shout COOKIE… the nice friendly neighbors would then hand us cookies… We would ride our bikes all across town and arrive home just in time for dinner …parents never knowing what dangers we faced that day. We loved to ride up to the WELLS discount store…and usually terrorize the people shopping. We liked to watch cartoons in the family room and drink coffee with no less then 5 scoops of sugar…plot how were going to run away…making lists of supplies…never forgetting the dog food needed as we were going to take the dog along…the crazy ass tried it…I believe he even copped a ride from the blimp that was at the airport across the street…. Then to Grandmas house they would send us in the summer. I was a usual routine…get up find trouble and get the paddle which his name was signed on the most! Soooo many stories on the Island, I think they finally decided not to send us both at the same time as we would cause soooo much trouble…
those were the good days..young, energetic and so full of life… Kudos to Raymie for providing me hours of entertainment and a lifetime of great memories to drowned out the bad junk! |
