Croquet Memories
When was the last time you played croquet?
I think I was ten years old the last time I played. I remember it was a really hot day. My family had gone to my Great Aunt Odell’s house to visit on a Sunday afternoon. I remember my brother and I played that afternoon in her backyard, while my parents visited with my Great Aunt.
It is funny how we have “light bulb” memories of certain events in our life. Most of the fun things I did with my brother I no longer remember, but this sticks out in my mind. Was it because it was something different to do? Was it because we did it at a distant relative’s home that we rarely visited? I don’t know. I’m just glad I have the fond memory.
These memories have recently come to the surface with the announcement of Wicket on the Green, Messiah Village’s upcoming charity croquet tournament on Saturday, April 24.
When was the last time you played croquet? Is there someone you may wish to play with and create a “light bulb” memory that is hard to forget? I think I will invite my brother to come and play croquet on April 24.

This sounds like a nice memory! I remember playing as a child in the backyard with my family too. The most recent time I played was at a Labor Day party with friends. It was so neat to do something different and have fun while playing!
