Monday Night at the Basket Ball Courts
Monday, December 15th, 2008One thing that I always look forward to is our Monday evening basketball game that has been a tradition for as long as I can remember. Coming from a family with so many boys (all taller than average height) it seemed natural for our father to bring the sport of basketball to our back driveway and good things happened from there.
Actually I believe it was a Christmas present from way back before I was ever born, that thing is as old as dirt, but it still standing proud and tall (the net missing for decades) in my parents drive way and we still use it when ever there is two of more of us back at home at the folks place, for what ever reason. Our sisters even became good at this wonderful sport that has played such an important role in my immediate family’s life, health and history. Oh the stories that are shared around the family table during holiday gatherings and photos all lined up on the fire mantle and the entire hallway, filled with so many pictures taken with basketballs in hand and hoops in the background.
