For all who missed it the first time around. Dot Subject: Rose The first day of school, our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being. She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?" I laughed and enthusiastically responded, "Of course you may!" and she gave me a giant squeeze. "Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked. She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids..." "No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. "I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me. After class, we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave, class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up. At the end of the semester, we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, "I'm sorry. I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for lent and this whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know." As we laughed, she cleared her throat and began, "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success." "You have to laugh and find humor every day." "You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it!" "There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old, lie in bed for one full year, and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old." "If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change." "Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things, we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets." She concluded her speech by courageously singing "The Rose." She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives. At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be. When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful word of advice to your friends and family, they'll really enjoy it! These words have been passed along in loving memory of Rose. Remember, growing older is mandatory. Growing up is optional. We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give. God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. If God brings you to it - he will bring you through it. Pass this message to 7 people except you and me. You will receive a miracle tomorrow. ooo---This Email Scanned for Virus---ooo by ooo--- Norton Anti-Virus---ooo

Here is a jump rope rhyme that we used to sing as we jumped rope at recess. Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, turn around, Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, touch the ground Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, show your shoe Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, that will do! Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, go upstairs- Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, say your prayers- Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, turn out the lights- Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, say good-night! We acted out the actions as the words come up in the rhyme. An example: when they say go upstairs, the we pretended to climb the stairs. Judy Judy

Spin the bottle was selective for me LOL.........I just wasn't going to kiss any random person unless there was someone playing that I "would" kiss. But, I think we all played that way too. Ahhhhh roller skating.....boy did I love that except when the darn things loosened and I didn't have the "key" to tighten things up. I'd love to try rollerblades but at my age a broken bone wouldn't be nice. My grandson just got a neat little motorcycle for his birthday. I love it and want to take it out for a spin but he is in the mountain and there is a resident 500 lb bear in the neighborhood. LOL My luck I'd find him/her or it would find me. ellen

On the street behind us the sidewalks were 8 ft long pieces of slate.. It was so smooth it was wonderful to skate there. But, by the time we moved when I was 12 Fairleigh Dickinson University had expanded and the sidewalk was crowded with college kids. Did any of your feet hurt when you took the skates off? I used to keep those front clamps so tight that my feet actually hurt. I rollarblade! Our children gave us both a pair for Christmas about 5 years ago. We laughed and didn't think we could do it. But, to make them happy we started skating around the pool deck where nobody could see us. Within a day we were out on the streets! Living in flat warm Miami at the time we did use them quite a bit. Now we only blade when we visit the grandchildren. Both daughters and their husbands and the three grandchildren (one in a jogging stroller) & Peter & I blade around a park along Lake Michigan. We blade from one daughter's house about 2 miles all along the lake into town, get an ice cream and go back. It's a lot of fun.

Dot, As you know I feel like I am kicking the can right now and my head feels like it. I played most of your games you all played, but our real sport was on scooters. I had a great one from Sears big wheels and could beat all the guys. My Dad build a Seasaw that went up and down, and it also spun all around that was a great toy. My swing in the Cherry tree my most fun. High Bridge was a great place for roller skates when you could keep them on, glad we had Broadway to go too. Think how little it took to amuse us. Always loved speed. Had a bike and we went down a big hill and up over a bank at the end and flew thru the air. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dorothy Borne <dotbnj@earthlink.net> To: <NJ-MEMORIES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 4:54 PM Subject: Re: [NJ-Memories] hula-hoop > And kick the can.

Most are just happy setting in front of the TV. You see it a lot more in Mexico. When I used to go down to Mexicali and Tijuana when we lived in California, we always took a nice big rope, and the girls would jump. Occasionally a boy or two would come along and try it, but they always looked ridiculous. Don't ask me why boys can't jump rope the way that girls can! :-} I think I remember seeing the boys playing a game with a pocketknife similar to the one you describe. In our neighborhood we did a lot of roller skating (those old-fashioned skates with the keys) and bike riding (and of course sledding in the winter; our street was a good one for that). For some odd reason we'd all get the idea to get out the skates on the same day, even without talking about it. And there was "building forts" on the vacant lots around the neighborhood (most of which aren't there any more; they've been built over). And chalk wasn't just used for Hopscotch boards; it was also great for writing things like "Linda stinks" and "Joanne loves Fred" on the sidewalk. Of course about a month later, you'd be best friends with Linda and writing "Janice and Ruth Ann have cooties" on the sidewalk with the same chalk. As far as kids being glued to the TV these days instead of getting outside: I see plenty of kids outside around here. They play roller hockey in the cul-de-sac by our house and kick footballs and soccer balls around in the park that we can see from our upstairs windows. And in one neighborhood that we walk our dog through often, the kids are always drawing chalk-line road maps, complete with pictures of buildings and labels of kids' houses, in the cul-de-sac and then riding their bikes around it. It's a regular "community project," with at least a half dozen kids getting involved.

I hadn't thought about some of those things in years. I loved jump rope especially double dutch, my kids thought I was amazing when they were little and I showed them I could jump two ropes at one time. Hopscotch....... how many of us tore the heels off our shoes for that one. There really wasn't anything else to use except a heel off a shoe. Rocks rolled.......cardboard flew away. I was on the phone with my daughter a little while ago and she is telling me she is eating oatmeal with apples and cinnamon. She goes on with how just smelling it makes her think back when she was little. I had a good laugh because now my kids are having memories of new stuff like "instant oatmeal"......we had the real thing LOL. Mom never said no when it came to running out in the thunder storms. YIKES I would be screaming for my kids to get in the house. Oh so many of them and we loved it, it's a wonder we weren't struck by lightening or something. The bigger the puddle the better. Oh how I loved the smell of hot tar but never put it in my mouth to chew. I guess we just never thought about that. Could never get the hang of the hula hoop.
