Way Back Wednesday

First, does anyone miss hot pants? (I don't!)

This picture is a scene from one of MANY MANY MANY backyard ball games. Our backyard was also the site for freeze tag, red light-green light, tennis (although we sometimes played that in the street) and war games.

This time Aunt Anonymous is pitching while Beanie is on third base. I'm someone will remember who that little kid standing in the center is -- I have no recollection.

When we first moved to Somers we played baseball and kickball at the end of the street in the circle of the cul-de-sac, but eventually we got tired of falling on the asphalt and then eventually the road was built through and our circle disappeared completely.

I'm thinking this picture was taken when Aunt Anonymous was in college, but it might have been when she was in high school. And you'll also notice that I was NOT playing ball as I quickly chose to be the team photographer. There's no way I'd let anyone take MY picture wearing hot pants. ;)
