...long, long ago, before my three youngest siblings were born, my family lived for two years on my grandparent's ranch in
Hillsboro TX. I was four when we moved there and it was love at first sight. At around 765 acres it was the world to me back then. We had a white picket fence around the little ranch house, a storm cellar, several cats and dogs, a little garden and a swing set. That swing set still remains on the ranch though no one lives in the old, run-down ranch house now. My uncle and grandfather recently moved the swing set near the lake along with a
real retired merry-go-round from an old park that was remodeling their playground. They don't make em like this anymore. On our last trip to my grandparents my littlest brother, Calvin got to sit in the very swing I used to swing in when I was little...and I think he liked it. :)
What was funny was that we didn't even have to push him. That's the beauty of swing sets of antiquity, as long as somebody's swinging on it-albeit on the other side-the whole set rocks back and forth in unison. :)
