From Memorial day Weekend till labor day weekend there was a neighbor hood pot luck picnic

on Sunday after church weather permitting.
Our neighbor had 50 acres and carved out a picnic grove in the woods.
10 to 20 families would show up the children boys girls would play ball,horse shoes and volley ball in the field or swim in the nearby brook and the adults would

play various card games scrabble just chit chat.
Summers were such a joy
