1976 Spring. We had the best yard. Everything that the “go out and play” generation needed. All of the kids would come play.

I'm on the left. We're at what we called the monkey bars. It had a swing, the handles that I was using, and the monkey bars were on top. Next to that and in front of the pool was this really cool(and slightly dangerous) merry-go-round. We also had a swing set complete with slide and glider. Then there was a big sandox, and a dome shaped climbing cage. My mother enjoyed all of the kids who would come and play. We did not have a lot of money. But, our parents and grandparents put a lot of money into that yard. So many good times!
