All Fall Down

Leave a comment

A popular past time in old La Selva Beach before computers and cell phones was rolling down the hill. Our house had a nice lawn and when the neighbors kids would come over, we’d all fall down on the grass and see who could make it to the bottom of the hill with the fewest bruises. These shots are from an 8mm movie reel.

Wait for Jimmy.
Watch for knees and elbows.
Check the bodies at the bottom.

TV reception

Leave a comment

Well, here’s a story about my dad and Les.  Our TV reception was quite poor, and the antenna was on the lawn.  So, my dad heard that if, IF, you’re getting poor reception, clean you’re antenna.  Ralph out “cleaning the antenna” and Les stops at the top of the driveway, on his way home from work, he yells down, ” Ralphie, what are you doing?”
My dad yells back – “Cleaning my antenna!”
Les replies, “What’s the matter – ya gettin’ a dirty picture? !!”
