When I was a young girl in Council Bluffs
When I was a young girl in Council Bluffs Owning one car was considered the norm. Staying at Grandma's for a week in the summer was vacation. Watching Wild Kingdom with Marlin Perkins and an enormous bowl of stove popped popcorn was the highlight of Sunday nights. When I was a young girl in Council Bluffs A box fan was my air conditioner. Playing kick the can until the street lights came on was a typical summer night. A lucky day was having enough money to get a treat from the ding ding man. When I was a young girl in Council Bluffs Swinging on the swing set was my favorite way to enjoy a summer morning Hide and seek in the cemetery with the black angel was terrifying. A quarter for a game of Pac Man would last an entire grocery trip. My days were happy, my family was great, and my worries were small.
