I s...Hi Lori,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all your visits to my blog. I so appreciate that.<BR/><BR/>I love to play croquet. We used to have special fields for that purpose here, there, and everywhere, but they are slowly being turned into parking lots. In my day, people had family reunions in woods. I remember one called the "Virginia Reunion" and it was big. Lots of people gathered in my village at this big woods and they had special croquet places. With curbs to keep the ball in bounds. They also had dual winged airplanes that puttered up and around for a fee. Your white clothes were worn then too so it must be required.<BR/><BR/>Abraham Lincoln<BR/><A HREF="http://brookvilledailyphoto.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Brookville Daily Photo</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475053903306163900.post-19925385429831554342007-05-17T13:30:00.000-05:002007-05-17T13:30:00.000-05:00Yes it does look a little more formal that I remem...Yes it does look a little more formal that I remember it being.Greg Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01925817439493420666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475053903306163900.post-4147435824506988562007-05-17T05:51:00.000-05:002007-05-17T05:51:00.000-05:00These are great photos of a sunny day in the Park....These are great photos of a sunny day in the Park.
