Fletcher Family Happenings: Memory Lane

Mom and I had a fun trip down memory lane in Blue Springs MO last week. See if you recognize some of these family locations!

This is the infamous sledding hill that we all tackled in the car top carrier turned upside down. If you remember Tiffany was sure that we were going to end up in the lake. There is actually a very long flat section before the water's edge.

This was our first home on Mic-O-Say Circle. Do you remember where your rooms were? This is where Eric got a water bed but decided he liked sleeping on the floor better. This is where Tiffany did not like her room as much as wandering around to find a sibling to sleep with. This is where Mom decided to crash down the steps from our upstairs room in the middle of the night.

This is our home on Brandywine Circle. This is where Taylor decided to decorate the walls with permanent felt pen shortly after our arrival. This is where the kids TV viewing room was on the bare concrete in the basement. (to discourage too much time down there)

This is the tremendously long and steep driveway that you all liked to ride down on your bikes. It somehow does not seem as long and steep now! Mom is talking here to Mike Dinneny who bought the house from us and still lives here.

This is our back yard that seemed to go back for miles from the house. This is where we first got a trampoline and had some fun with trying to test the strength of the skeletal system. You had to forge the stream at the very back to short cut to school. The elevated garden gave us great tomotoes and lots of weeds!

This is our neighbor's garden. His name was Ron. He was still out working in the garden after all these years. Ron did not like our baseballs ending up in his garden. Eric and Brendan were too good at hitting my pitches! Mike says that he still is not too happy about invasions of his garden - now by Mike's dog!
