  • ~Making Memories~

    Every year my hometown Greek Orthodox Church, has a Church picnic at a local picnic grove and amusement park.  We are so blessed to live in the next town over, where my husband is a pastor at a Greek Orthodox Church. It is great fun to get together with my childhood friends and their families.  I have memories of this picnic from my childhood at the same location riding the exact same rides. In fact when I was 3 years old they had a Cadillac raffle at the picnic and I won! I should scan in some photos of me sitting on the hood of the car; what a hoot! My parents sold the car (as we already had two cars and I couldn’t drive yet!) and I am sure I have spent that money many times over.

  • Yay! Glad you had so much fun!

  • You’ve had such a neat life, Lisa.  This to me actually sounds about as special as your travels to Europe.  I would love to have a happy place from my childhood to return to, and especially to be reunited with friends from childhood!  And now to share it with your kids…so nice.
