I was porch-sitting not too long ago when I noticed this little chip from one of my pavers laying at my feet. I picked it up and immediately I was lost in childhood memories. I remembered always looking for the perfect rock to play Hopscotch!
This was perfect, just the right weight
and look how well it fit my hand.

You do remember hopscotch??
Sure you do!!
So, even in my old age, I decided I wanted to play.
(BTW...you're only as old as you feel, and I felt pretty good.)

I didn't want to go to the front sidewalk, my neighbors may have thought I had lost my mind. So I drew a small hopscotch right there on the back porch. By the time I finished that piece of art I didn't know if I had enough energy left to hop on my hopscotch!!
Bitsy Baby and Buddy Boy took off to the back door, they couldn't believe their eyes!! I managed to make it one time and that was enough for me!
So much fun, I laughed at myself and then I laughed at the dogbabies!
Life can be so much fun.
Lord, thank you for play and fun times.
Thank you for laughter and precious memories that we can relive.
I am so thankful to be able to enjoy the little things in life.
Amen

Oh my gosh - I love this so much. It makes me want to go home & draw a hopscotch board myself. So fun!! Always keep those young at heart things alive!
ReplyDeleteSweet memories.... did Mr. D take a video you can share! 😊
ReplyDeleteOh no....it really wasn't a pretty sight!! lol
DeleteI remember playing hopscotch on the sidewalk in front of my childhood home. These days, I don't do too well on one foot! lol lol
ReplyDeleteI agree, you should have had your hubby to take a video of both you and the pets!!!
I think it scared the dogbabies to me hopping on one foot. It scared me too!! lol
DeleteThis post had me smiling all the way through! I LOVE that you played Hopscotch!! When I saw that rock in your hand, I thought it was a Dorito chip! LOL No hopping for me anymore, but God bless you for going for it!!
ReplyDeleteI had to take a second look, it does look like a Dorito chip!! lol
DeleteMary Jane what a delight. I love when God shares a sweet childhood memory with us. I was going to ask if Mr. D was there to enjoy the memory. And I'm sorry but I have to tell you I thought you'd saved a tortilla chip from Pepe's and were sneak eating so Mr. D didn't know.
ReplyDeleteYou are too funny....I did bring home some chips from Pepe's but being the wonderful wife that I am..teehee....I shared them with Mr D. !!
DeleteOh I would have loved to been a little fly on the wall watching you! I am sitting here smile and laughing. I love it Miss Mary! Now my question is this? After you got through with hopscotch how tired was you? LOL! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteOh, I remember hop scotch! Good for you in becoming a little girl again and playing. I don't think I could have done it without passing out! LOL Have a blessed day.
ReplyDeleteI thought that was a Tostido!
ReplyDeleteLove the Hopscotch drawing. I taught my kids to count 1-10 in Russian this way. :)
I loved hopscotch!! I would've played with you.
ReplyDeleteI was just wondering if anyone took YOUR picture hopscotching! What fun that would be to see! YOu may have started a new trend here today. I haven't played that since a child. Not sure I could do it either, but it would be fun to try. Thank you for being a fun friend!!!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I wish I could still skip rope!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm another who remembers playing hopscotch. It's fun to be child-like sometimes, isn't it!!!
