Sardines brings back lots of memories - especially when we reached junior high age and the parties were co-ed.
During younger, more innocent days - Hopscotch, Four square.

Raise your hand if you had a sandbox...and if you ever tried to dig your way to China. :o)

Dad said sandboxes were just giant litterboxes for neighborhood cats. He let us build treehouses in all the backyard trees though. Mom always kicked us out of the house after dinner in the summertime. We weren't allowed to come back until the porch light was on.
How about chicken fights?
in the pool! LOVED them!
All the pool games - Marco Polo, picking up a penny, and of course...synchronized swimming. My sister and I would spend hours and hours in the pool making up routines. We'd be shrivelled up and blue when Mom finally dragged us out.
With this post I, too, become a Legend.
I've got the champagne on ice, if anyone wants to join my party.
I was deprived as a child. No swingset or sandbox. Though, I think the fact that we lived about 30 feet away from the neighborhood playground had something to do with that, but try explaining that to a 5 year old! I wanted *my* own swings that I didn't have to share!

Thanks!
and, while were clinking - here's to bwaysinger and his show tonight...
Maybe if I guzzle some of this bubbly it will help me get rid of my cold. (or, at least I won't care how I feel!)
In the meantime, this legend has to go make some chicken soup. (I'm such a party pooper!)
I'll be back later to play with everyone!

My great-grandfather built my wooden sandbox. It had a movable canopied roof.
Living on an island...chicken fights in the ocean or the pool happened all the time.
Jose - that sounds like an amazing sandbox!
Cheers to our newest Legend...Veuve all around for my friend NYadgal.
Thanks, Boobs!
Cheers to you, too.
And to all my friends who gave me such wonderful memories in this thread to 'reply' to!
I was just watching Elaine Stritch at Liberty..I laughed when she opens the paper to the obit's and said that Noel Coward used to read the obit's to see who wasn't gonna be coming to lunch.
Noel Coward was so witty!
I just bought a CD by a singer named Joshua Payne, the name of the CD is Your Love, My Home...what an amazing voice, but he does the wonderful BREAD song "IF"...it's worth the price of the CD just for this song. I can't stop playing it.
I love that CD!
The orchestra in the title track is beautiful!
okay NYadgal, this is too scarry..were we really separated at birth???
I'm beginning to wonder...LOL!
or perhaps we knew eachother in a past life...
Maybe we were lovers in a past life...Aida???
Undi. you know I felt the same way when I met you. I feel like we've met before because you just look so familiar. Amneris??
I'm making a couple of cosmos for us right now. Cheers !!!
Undi. That's right..I almost forgot...Best of Luck with them. You'll be fine...You're such a great speaker and full of energy...they'll be fighting over you !!!
I'm back. Did someone say cosmos?
So - Aida, Amneris and Radames? Could be!
In my experience, old souls are frequently drawn to eachother.

I know I've felt that way about certain folks. I'm sure its a remembrance of a time before this life. It's wonderful and, to me, it sometimes feels almost divine.
Undi, best wishes to you tomorrow. Please let us know how it goes!
