What five (5) things do you miss about your childhood?

Rule #1: Remove the blog at #1 from the following list and bump every one up one place. Add your blog's name in the #5 spot. Link to each of the other blogs for the desired cross pollination effect.

1. More Than My Luggage
2. Welcome to My Truth
3. A Spider's Web in Thornton Park
4. Mountain Cabin
5. mid-afternoon snack

Rule #2: Select new friends to add to the pollen count. No one said I had to list five here.

1. Bert
2. Dewayne
3. Christopher
4. Joe

1. Mountains - The tallest "mountains" in Florida were built by Disney. I'm used to the more-than-7,000-foot variety.
    
2. Hiking/Camping - The heat, humidity and voracious bugs here just don't give me the same enjoyment. I miss waking up freezing in July and smelling the fresh air of a moist pine forest.
    
3. A piano - I play (or used to), but the darn things are kind of expensive. I miss having one in the living room.
    
4. Rocky coasts - The utter flatness of Florida beaches (broken only by inlets and rivers) just doesn't compare with the cliffs and tidepools of the Oregon Coast.
    
5. Simplicity - Maybe it's a cop-out, but life was so much simpler when my needs were provided for by my parents, and life was more take-it-as-it-comes. No planning ahead, no saving for retirement, no jockeying for the next job.

Here's a fun activity for you to waste some time: Try clicking the link for the blog at the #1 spot above (the "Luggage" one), search for this meme, and repeat until you can't find the originating article anymore. I think it took me about 4 tries; YMMV.
