I ain't done...where's the wiffle ball?
Well, I ain't done! I can't believe no one has had this blog! Being 2301 and all has helped this blog come alive, but it is needed. What about Lost Creek?
How about:
1) The wore out places in the back yard that represents 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and home plate. I was home about two weeks ago and noticed that there are still little dirt spots on the infield where we played. Hitting in the garden is an out! (only in the summer) If you hit a ball near creek, well, it could possibly end the game (reference not being able to find ball). The best place to hit the ball is where the apple trees used to be. I believe our hard-a** dad is the only one ever to play burn out's...he's the man! Geez, wiffle ball is the best! Please add rules or memories.
2) How about the blizzard's that took place on back to back years (94 & 95)...I think. Chase made tunnels like a gopher in the snow. The men of LC plowed, shoveled and kicked snow everywhere. The Pam-cakes video taping us through the windows...classic. Life is full of gay men!
3) Jon, I played football in the elementary and won championships, middle school (got killed), and knee football (got powmped...Madden football). Knee football was probably the greatest sport ever knowed to Lost Creek. Chase and Joel Vs. JD and Laura our just JD. I really can't say a whole lot, but...AWESOME! My kids will play knee football! You can play it in the winter(snow days) or summer. 'Nuff said!
4) I have never hated anything in my life more than: workin' in the garden. I hate it! I would start working and before you knew it...dirt clods would be flying at Jess' head! Chase, you always seemed to enjoy it. Jon, I can see you in either a red NASA t-shirt or a yellow Riverside Basketball Camp t-shirt...another blog in itself! How come Paige and Laura always got out of the garden detail?
Guy's I hafta quit...I could go on for days!

5)What about the bottle rocket wars over the hill, behind Ruth-fassa's house? Those were some hardcore events, the best I remember. The wiffle ball bat that doubled as a bazooka? Jess's red Marlboro bag full of goodies?
One time, I think Chase and I were on teams, Jess had shot a bottle rocket at us and it hit in the tree above us. The red embers floated down and landed on my glasses and it burned a smudge spot on my lens. Man, it was two years before I got another pair of glasses. I guess that's why they call it war.
6) Never ending basketball games on the court of fears? Chase you can write about that one. Key words and phrases to use: One armed gunslinger from the corner, in your eye, hoomarang boomarang, bank, chili fry, son (like the way Jeol used to say it), Jupiter in line with Mars, and lastly, "Teep heem in!!!"(think 21). Bring it.
I'm gonna have to comment twice... once for Judy and once for Jon's comment which is comedic/nostalgic gold.
First for you Joel>
Remember how I used to love hackin' the high pitches. I can't count the number of times I smacked it right back into Dad's shins. He'd say, "Gosh dog the luck."
I worked the blizzards like a Snow Gopher... or a Snopher.
Laura never played too much knee football. She's just jump around and throw in a cartwheel here in there. She played it like an ethel-head try and die, dooby dooby dooby doo.
I did like working in the garden. I only complained because Paige and Laura got out of it. I'd love to have a garden some day, so my sons can trick each other into eating hot peppers.
I'd give $20 for a ripe Chinese apple about now. Holler at me if you feel the persimmons.

Seems like I was mostly on Jess's team for those wars. I never wanted to be on the business end of the red Marlboro bag. Remember that one time when Daniel showed up and was lighting us up with the Roman candle from the bank? And the award for funniest line in a blog comment goes to.... j-delicious for "I guess that's why they call it war."
I can't believe you left off "old lady" from that list. I think if Tim Waller still works his legs, he could probably dunk that goal from wherever he's standing right now.
Ah...thank you! Ah...thank you!
You gonna have to refresh me, Chase, on the "old lady"....oh snap, I just got it. Is that like as in "gettin it from" the aforementioned?
Jess....who....whaaaa?
Correct. That was the corner opposite Joe's one-arm slingin' corner. You had to shoot from under the sweet gum tree. I was too naive to get what you and Jess meant by that, but I think it had something to do with your ex-girlfriends.
Mine? Pooser's? Maybe. It was "gettin' it from some old lady" not "gettin' it from your old lady".
Are you sure those were blizzards?
I remember being covered in apple sauce from apples + firecrackers.
Wiffle ball should make a come back at the family reunion, but I think cornhole may be the game now.
