Picnic Time Q & A
It may be hard to understand, but some people have never been to a family or church picnic. What a shame! That’s where unforgettable memories, bonding, and romance can blossom!
Describe your best picnic memory (or worst) from your youth.
Favorite food?
Favorite drink?
Favorite sport?
Favorite location?
Family? Friends? Work buddies?
First kiss?
First dunking?
Let’s share those memories so we don’t have to watch any news today!
I may have been 6 or 7 and my little sister 4 or 5. We were at a company picnic for my dad's work. I was struggling to lift the bar from my seat on the swingset. My sister ran over to help me and ran in front of the boy who was swinging next to me getting kicked in the face as he swung through. Kris got a broken nose. I felt many things very strongly: guilt that this had happened to my sister, shame at not being able to get out of the swing myself, and deep disappointment that we had to go to the hospital right away instead of eating what was surely the Best Fried Chicken in the World!
I've been on too many picnics to remember! I have two favorite spots, which are very similar: Two Lights State Park in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, and Odiorne Point State Park in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Oh! Beaver Brook Falls in Colebrook, New Hampshire is another favorite.
