Day 12, Simple Solitude

The one and only swing left on our swing set. Teenager doesn't swing as much any more, but I still catch him back there once in a while. Me sitting on the lone swing thinking about watching him out the back door and all the fun he had on it in throughout the years. It may be coming down soon to make way for a batting cage.

The day the swing set went up.  #5, husband, M (who helped build it) and A.  The boys are now 14 and almost 16 (a few weeks for #5)

#5 "just swingin"

The swing set now

The last lone swing

Our new little gnome, "Flick", swinging in a tree

He was named for "shoe flickin" a game where you swing, then "flick" your shoe to see who flicks the farthest.  A tradition from #5's b-day parties.  This year we are having a 16th b-day party for him, and we will be "flickin" for the last time.  Uncle M is bringing the trophy we have.
