Stories about growing up as a young boy and teenager in the small town of Carbonear, Newfoundland. Even though I didn`t have what most kids, then and today, have, I was rich in many ways. I had lots of time to play outside and have fun, to help others and to do little jobs that kept a few pennies in my pocket. For me, there was no time to be bored or idle. There was always something to do whether it be skiing or sliding in the winter, swimming in the summer, helping with the horse and cart deliveries, selling berries or capelin or working full time in the summer as a teenager.
