52 Weeks of Personal Genealogy & History – Week #28

 Summers in Alabama in the 50s6s and 70s were hot, muggy and filled with sounds of cicadas, locusts and crickets.

I remember lots of camping trips to Davy Crockett  State Park, in the hills of Tennessee where it was somewhat cooler than Huntsville. We sometimes “joined” a swimming pool, or the YMCA, but usually got ear infections from it.

But most of all I remember watching sunsets from the back porch, which overlooked downtown Huntsville.

Description Week 28: Summer. What was summer like where and when you grew up? Describe not only the climate, but how the season influenced your activities, food choices, etc. We’ll list a new challenge each Saturday which should be completed by the following Friday. 52 Weeks of Personal Genealogy & History (http://www.geneabloggers.com/tag/52-weeks-of-personal-genealogy-history/) by Amy Coffin is a series of weekly blogging prompts (one for each week of 2011) that invite genealogists and others to record memories and insights about their own lives for future descendants. You do not have to be a blogger to participate. If you do not have a genealogy blog, write down your memories on your computer, or simply record them on paper and keep them with your files.
