Croquet is a wonderful game to play on a beautiful day when your garden just
happens to be in its peak. Or so I thought. So I hosted a Tea and
Croquet party in our back yard. It was a glorious day and my Lunch Bunch
came appropriately attired. They brought their husbands to entertain mine
in hitting croquet balls around throughout our back yard. The back yard
used to be known as "Ramsey Field", but that was when my husband and his
brothers were young and fleet. We are now forty years older and so we
enjoy a more "civilized" pursuit. My husband tells me he is in better
shape today than he was then. And then he reminds me..."Round IS a shape."

Of course, there must be food
for such and event. Linda and Cecily check it out. |
Sharman and Michele do enjoy
tea and the accompanying goodies. |
The Ladies donned their broad brimmed hats. We prepared desserts and
tea, printed out the rules of the game, and proceeded with our day. Ladies
wore their whites and big hats. Gentlemen, in their usual competitive
spirit made their own rules to complicate matters and enjoyed hitting each
others balls into the "rough". We had a marvelous day and recommend
croquet to everyone.
Bring your own
copy of the
rules. They can (and will) be challenged.
