Thursday 13-Gramma’s house

Here are 13 things that my younger cousins never experienced at Gramma’s and Grampa’s house after they moved to Florida.

1. Rolling down the hill.
2. The backyard that went on forever.
3. Taking a nap in a basement bedroom and upon awaking, not knowing it’s it’s AM or PM.
4. Begging an aunt or uncle (usually and aunt) to take us to the park down the street.
5. Being old enough to finally go without an aunt.
6. Spending the afternoon at the park playing nothing in particular with cousins.
7. Lawn darts and horseshoes.
8. Not wanting to go into the laundry room because it was scary.
9. Visiting and wondering if the house was arranged the same or if there was a new room/wall somewhere.
10. Playing hide and seek in the basement.
11. Sliding in the basement hallway.
12. Christmas gift exchanges.
13. This wallpaper in the dining room

1. active duty military
2. police officers
3. fire fighters
4. doctors
5. nurses
6. TV crew
7. radio crew
8. garbage collectors
9. homeless shelter staff
10. hotel staff
11. nursing home staff
12. gas station attendants
13. movie theater staff
