A Bit of Nostalgia

So for those of you that remember growing up in the 70's you'll enjoy this one. It's a nice sunny summer day in New Jersey (that's where we always were in the summer!) and we're at Uncle Sonny's and Aunt Arden's house.

We were having some type of cookout on this day so I'm not sure if it was a holiday or not, but we thought we'd enjoy a game of Lawn Jarts. Do you remember them? They we actually banned/recalled/whatever, because of the damage they caused, which we got a little taste of on that sunny summer day. I don't remember who actually threw the jart, it could have been me, but we missed the target by a long shot and hit the back of Uncle Sonny's Station Wagon. The jart went right through the metal!

Well low and behold, Dave and I were out on our Saturday morning garage sale route and there they were, all packaged up in a box......JARTS! Of course we had to buy them. If we decide to play I'll make sure that we are way out of range for cars, houses, people, animals, etc., etc., etc.
