There's another thing we did. Fly kites. We also made them from time to time. I had some very peaceful times in the fields to the south, where the105 freeway is now, laying in the grass watching my kite straight overhead.

I seem to remember you guys telling your mom about it and what the complaints was.

I remembered they moved the sign, but forgot they moved it across the street.
Sent from my iPadHi Cathy,Now I remember the tetherball tied to the street sign. If you look on Google Earth, street view, you will see that they moved the sign post across the street near what used to be the Slagel's house. I guess they figured there was too much wear and tear on the Magdaleno corner :-)Johnny--On Mon, Sep 3, 2018 at 7:57 PM Cathy Fortuna <fortunac@verizon.net> wrote:--Oops, I misspoke. It was tetherball where we broke the street sign. We did play volleyball. Ask Mike Chenier -- he blamed me for a chipped tooth during one game.
Sent from my iPadI don't remember the volleyball. Must have gotten pretty rough if you broke the street sign :-) I became a volleyball fan as an adult. Now my wife and I attend all the high school volleyball in our area. - Johnny--On Mon, Sep 3, 2018 at 4:32 PM Cathy Fortuna <fortunac@verizon.net> wrote:--I remember playing jacks on the front porch with Marla, but don't remember her ever saying cart before the horse. Volleyball was fun until we broke the street sign. Wonder how many tee shirts and beach balls we went through?
Sent from my iPadI never did learn to play any of those card games. Guess my attention span couldn't handle the more complicated games. I knew how to play Go Fish, War, and most of the poker games.--There also was Pick up Sticks and the girls loved to play jacks.What was the game where Marla would say " Cart before the horse!"On Mon, Sep 3, 2018 at 2:22 PM Alex Magdaleno <eng42b@gmail.com> wrote:From Cathy--"Casino steal the pile was one of Marla's favorite card games.

Did we play on a table or on the floor?Johnny--On Mon, Aug 27, 2018 at 11:32 AM Alex Magdaleno <eng42b@gmail.com> wrote:Yes, diagonally and also a combination of all directions as long as each square touched another.I made a YouTube video about 7 years ago.--On Mon, Aug 27, 2018 at 10:38 AM John Dumas <jdumasfelix@gmail.com> wrote:Hi Al,Like Cathy, I remember about 4 players. The wikipedia entry shows the ships placed vertically or horizontally. I seem to remember that we also could place them diagonally. Do you remember that?Johnny--On Sun, Aug 26, 2018 at 7:33 PM Alex Magdaleno <eng42b@gmail.com> wrote:Wikipedia doesn't know that more than 2 can play the game. What would you say was the largest number we played with back in the day? I remember about 5.--
