100 Years Old....

  Our park celebrated 100 years this 4th. It has changed much through the years. This big climbing rock, some kind of plastic. The huge trees are far enough away, but cast a nice shade on the playground equipment. Most of the time.
 I am not sure how old  this lamp is, it is a concrete post. There are banners on each one to honor Tipton.
This is our city water tower. It's beside the ball diamonds and the hospital. You can see the creek . On one side of the creek is all this and the park , on the other is the golf course. My sister and I sit on a group of benches, at the turn of the creek, and just enjoy being out in the fresh air.
  Hope all of you are safe . That you also had a great weekend.  XO

    1. That makes me feel sad too. I love parks and school buildings....it is sad when they are torn down. The school I elementary school I attended has been turned into a church, which is great. xoxo,Susie

    1. Tete, You are right about the golfing. I am so happy that the old lamp posts were not torn down all these years. Once our city torn down the street lights in town and then just a few years back , put up the same kind they torn down. Go figure.LOL. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
