Swings

Going to Paula and Raymond's ranch is always a bitter sweet time for me.  My mother loved them so much, and her roots were deep into this soil, and so visiting reminds me of her.  Anyway, as we were checking out the bulls, tractors, etc. -- we rounded the corner and there it sat--the swings from my childhood.  I had completely forgotten about them.  I am sure that Sam, my brother had brought them up to the ranch years ago when he was cowboy-ing.  My father had constructed them out of galvanized pipe--and there they stood--sixty five years later.

I remember this little swing set well. Every time we learned a new "trick" we would run into the house and plead with Mother to come and "watch." And, most of the time she did. I am happy to know that Paula's children or/and grandchildren have enjoyed this set as much as we did. Thanks, Daddy
