I wonder if anyone else has fond memories of playing croquet at their grandparents' home?
While exploring a thrift store last week, I came upon this croquet set for $5.00. I was immediately taken back to the days of my childhood summers. Croquet with my sisters and sometimes my cousins during picnics and visits to my grandparents' home. When I think of croquet, I think of my grandparents.
It's funny how certain material objects, smells, and songs trigger fond memories.
Of course, I had to make this croquet set my own. My kids had never played croquet before that evening last week. It was wonderful and very nostalgic to see them enjoying a game that I played as a child.
Making memories...

My hubby's family (parents and grandparents and kids) played this all the time when he was growing up. We've played it a few times when our kids were growing up. Yes, happy memories.
