I thought church picnics in rural Michigan were really fun. There were cakewalks and a "fishing pond" where you put a fishing pole over a screen and got a toy on the other end. And sawdust piles for the kids. We would dig out the coins. And I thought reunions were fun. They had live polka music and dancing and Faygo Pop and Vernors. And sawdust piles. I got to read a lot of books. I got to go out in the country and the little town. I went swimming in a lake. I rode bikes. Ate ice cream. Went fishing in the pond in the country. Visited a crick to gather moss. And ate meals with friends on other farms. There were lots of chickens around. I heard church bells and mourning doves in the evening. Lots of times it was actually very idyllic. I'm probably supposed to go back there someday because I went there every summer for so many years.
