I was watching some squirrels play this afternoon, and this song popped into my head.

Sometimes it's kind of weird where our minds go and the connections we make to old memories, old songs.

Early EveningSurprise!

is it so weird? ... I think we all got our own private soundtrack on our mind ... there are so many memories, sometimes only like a glimpse in our our ... and suddenly there's a song to this ... I enjoy this very much.

Funny song

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Dirk. When that song came to me yesterday, I even remembered most of the words. There was just something about those squirrels playing that made me think of a playground full of kids.

It really is, isn't it, Darko?

There was a time when a nickel really would buy all kinds of candy, though.

In ex-Yu we didn't have nickels but I remember a time when I could buy a chewing gum for 1 dinar coin

Kids used to ask for a quarter. Now they ask for twenty dollars.

I like watching squirrels play. But living in the middle of a big city kinda limits the number of times that happens.
Hi sweet Star - sorry I haven't been here for such a long while.

No apology necessary, Kitty. I know you're very busy, and I'm very happy that you took the time to stop by.

They're on about getting rid of the 'copper' 1's and twopenny pieces here in the UK - but Queen Elizabeth doesn't want to be remembered as the monarch who did that. . They cost more to make than they're worth, even though they're magnetic &nearly all iron these days.

Seems that a lot of countries are having that very problem lately, Lincs. When it becomes too expensive to make the nation's money, something is very wrong.
