saturday






There's a quiet little park in our city that's in our neighborhood. Most people in the city don't know it exists except for the people who grew up in or live in our neighborhood.
The pictures above show walking trails that my brother-in-law put in the park, on his own time just for the fun of it. So far there's two of them, probably a couple miles total.He isn't finished yet. The grill pictured above was also put there by my brother-in-law in memory of his father. He's a welder. I think he built the grill during his lunch hours at work.
The baseball field is where I spent most summers evenings when I was in 4th-7th grade. Most of the neighborhood children, boys and girls, would meet at the field to play baseball. We had talent. Raw,athletic, talent................it was fun and it's one of my favorite childhood memories.

The A-Frame house is the house I check out every now and then( for the past three years, atleast) to see if  it's for sale. I know it needs a face lift but still I love it.The whole back of the house hasa beautiful screened in porch, mature tree filled backyard that backs up to the park in the pictures above.
It's empty.The nephew finally placed his aunt in a nursing home.
He'll probably list the place soon. Not that I'd have to wait until then to make him an offer. Of course my sister bought the house next door to this place a couple years ago. So there's always that to consider.
Here I go again....maybe!

Boy, it's a lot more green here in the winter, but we do have a lot of evergreens. And other things don't go dormant for every long either.

Nice grills.

After getting your email I looked at the pictures of the grill again and noted that you smudged out the last name. So, was it, you know, George Foreman?

LOL
