Mindy's Games

I always played Barbies. Even when I was too old to play Barbies I still played with them. As some of my friends outgrew them, they also outgrew me because that's all I ever wanted to play. The twins and I liked to dress up, hit the tennis ball back and forth across the street, look for spear grass or Indian paint brushes in the field, play parachute with the sheet on the big bed we shared, and sing along with little records that we played on my red and white striped portable record player. David and I would set up the army guys on the hearth and shoot them down with rubber bands. I also read a lot. I don't remember any neighborhood play.
