His parents kept a boat at the marina back in the early 80's.

If you're the same David D. from my class, I saw you there quite a bit. Those were great summers.<br /><br />Anonymous-Yes, I am. Can't help it. Was born that way and it seems to be getting worse/better (depending on how one views it) with age.<br /><br />Anonymous #2 - Mathews Mark? Is that you? Are you back?<br /><br />Meg- We do have to bring that place back. Oh, the blog fests we could throw there...<br /><br />DJ-Some might consider this a subconscious desire to harm my sisters. But really, the box was handy and there was stuff in it, so I ever-so-daintily spooned some out onto the nice pretend china we had at our miniature kitchen table. Nobody had any intentions of eating it. My mother found us just as we were getting ready to *pretend* to eat it. Then all hell broke loose. The End. It's a story that I'll never live down along with the undercooked pork sausage. Same pediatrician was involved in that episode too. <br /><br />Daryl-Thanks but I sure don't feel that way these days. Just feel old and washed up.<br /><br />Kate-Nothing beats those fireworks. Watching from the boat was the best.<br /><br />Kay-That hair tucking thing really annoyed me, I'm not sure why. <br /><br />Deborah-Thank you...and regarding the d-Con, we were having a tea party, but I actually set out plates and was serving it up as food to go along with our tea. Pretend food, of course. But try telling my family members that...<br /><br />BHE-I thought Coonex was the tissue paper raccoons use to wipe the makeup circles from under their eyes. (BTW, I think that's what got the cat the other night. He’s recovering nicely after spending several hours at the vet.)<br /><br />Foolery-You underestimate yourself. You are extremely photogenic and are also an excellent actress based on that last commercial you shared with us.<br /><br />Hope everyone has a relaxing weekend. Thanks for reading, commenting, and tolerating these little side trips back in time.Chesapeake Bay Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187804072769932131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-67357553460707459812010-11-12T14:14:51.773-05:002010-11-12T14:14:51.773-05:00Not the LEAST bit surprised, of course.

However, I love looking back on how active it used to be. So many people had such good times there, and it's so sad to me that a generation or two won't have those same memories. I really hope someone rebuilds that place!Occasional Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04441630688589285625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-37054242201845447792010-11-12T08:40:13.790-05:002010-11-12T08:40:13.790-05:00What wonderful memories ... and its no surprise yo...What wonderful memories ... and its no surprise you were gorgeous then just as you are nowDarylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241795455748298624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-86047619910267923812010-11-12T08:15:15.464-05:002010-11-12T08:15:15.464-05:00I so needed this blog this morning... the D-Con ra...I so needed this blog this morning... the D-Con rat poison tea party made me laugh so hard I cried.
