Summer

Barefooted was the norm during my summers as a kid.I remember the hot pavement scorching the soles of my feet.Summer meant getting a coupon from the Coca Cola company on your birthday for 2 free cokes at the store of your choice.The smells of summer like Honeysuckle and Formosa trees filing the night air.Crickets and bull frogs serenading you to sleep on a star filled night.No school so you could sleep in late as you wanted.Stay up long as you wanted or could.Friday night on TV channel 5 WAGA TV in Atlanta Bestonk Dooley would host old black-n-white horror movies.Every one had a bike and they would be rode from morning to evening,wow I got exercise back then.Breakfast at Jay McMichels store which would most likely be a bottle of 7up and bag of Fritos.Summer has always been my favorite season.
