When I was young we had a large extended family - on my father's side of the family - some lived in town and some lived a few miles out of town in the country side.
Sunday's during the summer we would all gather at Aunt Mary's and Uncle John's house - having a picnic, drinking tea and the adults and kids would play croquet.
Their house was almost at the time of a hill with a very large yard perfect for playing Croquet......
I always chose the blue ball, yes, folks even way back then I had this attraction to the color blue......
I miss those by gone days .......warm sun, green grass, and just being a kid.......being surrounded by family.
