Kick the can! I haven't thought of that in a million years, and it was fun.

Enjoyed hearing your thoughts of your grandmother and how her voice could carry down 15 stories. Mine lived in a cottage, but hers could carry several blocks away! She just knew how to project it to reach us wherever we were.

Loved the view.

This made me feel a bit choked up...I have similar thoughts when I visit my Grandparents.

What a nice memory. Like Frau, I remember playing outside until dark~ kick-the-can. I feel badly that the computer and tech-games have taken the place of some of these activities.

I think its interesting how we can see things we've seen a hundred times and suddenly "see" them for the first time. Great photo, and such a nice memory. I like the image of your Nana yelling out the window - it is so clear I feel like I was there.

You are very fortunate to be able to "go back" and re-live it all. That is a great photo. My suggestion would be to take a photo and frame it. You'll always have it to go back to. :)

The wonder years! I think each of us need to keep the memory alive as well as time to just "play"- as well as give thanks for the "Nanas, Grandmas, and Moms of the world who always have a "watchful eye from any height! Hope Nana reads your post today. She will be so proud of this memory.

I have such wonderful childhood memories of playing kick the can, cops and robbers etc.. it's sad to think our children have a different memory. Beautiful view thanks for sharing.

I miss NYC as it was. I enjoy sitting up with my husband and comparing traditions and tales of big city life, like being in before the street lights come on...if they're flickering-you'd better drop everything and "book"! Great photo, thanks for sharing.
