My daughter and I took a bouquet of flowers from our yard to a sick neighbor … Took a long walk in the park tonight with my kids, just like in an old movie.

Remember the old movies where people took long summer walks in the park? Me too. A kid dragged a stick along a picket fence. Couples strolled and chatted. Men and women talked of big ideas and small details. Time moved slow. Seems like an age gone by.

Tonight, I took a long walk in the park with my kids. Our experience?

• Two boys rode a tandem bicycle.
• Some children were petting a cat.
• Families walked and talked together.
• Skateboarders crossed our path.
• A teenager jogged by.
• Canadian geese were strutting.
• An old friend stopped to talk with us.
• Dogs frolicked.
• Ducks paddled around the lake.
• A young couple swatted a tennis ball.
• A couple boys shot some hoops.
• A woman sat reading on a blanket.

Just like an old movie.
