Reminiscing About the “Good Ole Days”

My husband and I got a little nostalgic this week as we discussed that it was already time for kids to head “Back to School.”  We were raised in different areas of the country, but when we were kids we didn’t go back to school until after Labor Day.  We both remember long summer days to run, play, go on vacation, and get bored.  You didn’t tell Mom or Dad you were bored because then they would find a chore for you to do.  I was a avid reader so I spent many days reading a book or absorbing teen magazines.  Mom and I got hooked on soap operas in the afternoon one summer but realized that we needed to give those up.

Chamois will be host several events as our annual Chamois Day Festival will be September 17th with vendors, games, tours and food and reunions...
