The Lazy Days of Summer ~ Circa 1969

Dear Diary

July 2, 1969

Dear Diary,

I have been konking out every time I hit the pillow and as you read on you will find out why!

JoAnn came over around quarter after 12:00 and we took off for Medway Park with two tennis rackets, tennis balls, food, and Pepsi. We walked home singing Christmas carols! I ate my lunch on the way there.

JoAnn and I were playing tennis and Mike the Lifeguard had a whole mess of kids come on the tennis court for some reason and he looked at us and told the kids “the BASKETBALL court” instead.

We went home around 3:00 and went back to play some more.

These two guys (Mike and Chet) were there and we all played a couple of games together. Chet was the sweetest. They were our age.

We went home and Dad took everyone to Dairy Queen. Fun!

Came home, goofed around and went to bed!

What is summer without cute guys, a game of tennis and a trip to Dairy Queen? Sigh.

    Danielle,
    I remember we used to go to Medway Park quite a bit! Always with tennis rackets…
    Do you remember one time we called up a radio station? We either requested a John Lennon song, or just requested a song. They played our request! Not sure if they mentioned our names or hometown though..
    I would always start a diary, but it never took off.
    I enjoy this website so much!!
