We're baseball fanatics -- but we've gotten caught up in the FIFA fever and are enjoying everyone's perspectives!<br /><br />We liked that the game was a tie.

I've got a couple of years on you in age; however, I, too, recall summers at the lake, picnics, family outings, neighbors stopping by for lemonade or ice tea in the summer. A time gone by that I fear we will never see again.<br /><br />Around my home it was baseball (mother)and boxing (father) that took center stage. As for soccer, I am happy that we are 1-1. Let's see what the next game brings☺Scout and Freyjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423843978069675292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030432357826707438.post-10938118056153730702010-06-13T08:04:43.536+01:002010-06-13T08:04:43.536+01:00Hi there Gail

I also thoroughly enjoyed the game last night. It was very strange NOT wanting either side to win, but to cheer the teams of my friends from both England and USA along.<br />Thank you too for participating in "UNITY IN DIVERSITY"! You have done a wonderful job!<br />Sending lotsapats to Bertie and also to wish you much enjoyment in the matches still to come.<br />With love<br />MAXMOM IN SOUTH AFRICAMaxmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03352085013260757004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030432357826707438.post-14993728223705464562010-06-13T03:28:11.249+01:002010-06-13T03:28:11.249+01:00cool story and pictures.We not big on soccer balls...cool story and pictures.We not big on soccer balls.

How spooky is that ! I was 11 at the time and remember very clearly that my elder brothers, terribly sophisticated and 'cool', were allowed to have a celebratory glass of champagne. I got a coke.An early lesson in age diferentiated unfairness.<br />Do you think that people still go to the IoW and layer sand inside glass bottles ? What was it all about?Angushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13905037014736070475noreply@blogger.com
