This is one of my favorite places, even though the tree with the swing had to get cut down. There are still acres and acres of walnut trees and a few dogs of various ages to help explore.
Re: The Swing tree: to make it more (or less) tragic, the tree did not get cut down, it blew down in a winter storm--thankfully, across the driveway rather than into the living room where some of the family was playing games on a rainy day...I'm glad for the legacy of happy memories this place has, it's one of my favorite places, too :)
I know that place! When were you guys there? How are Uncle W. and Aunt H doing at 90? We saw them last year, and they looked the same as they have for twenty years. Too bad about the old swing tree. Was the little ride-in metal car still around? That was my favorite. Thank you so much for the memory wave!

ReplyDeleteThat's one of my favorite places too! I have lots of memories from there--and a lot of them about the tire swing! Oh no!
