Old Lane Get Together

Sarah, Alicia and Me in 1986


I had a final swim party and barbecue for the summer at my dad’s house last Saturday. This time it was a get together with some good friends from “the lane.” I grew up on a dirt lane in Draper. It sounds a little hill-billy and maybe it was, but I had some great times growing up together with the Taft’s, Glenn’s, Pholman’s, Hunsaker’s, etc… “The lane” has since been torn up and town homes now sit where our houses used to be, but we used to play and play for hours together running up and down the lane to each other’s house. We would go bum sliding in the ditch, play in the tree house and sandbox, hunt for grasshoppers in the fields, play kick ball and night games in our yards and lots of other fun that kids do. It was fun to get together and talk with everybody and find out where life has taken them and their families.
