Penedendria

Do you remember when you were little and you would play 'house' with your brothers and sisters? Well in my family we couldn't.... because there were too many of us. So instead we played 'town'.
We played 'town' so much that we ended up naming our yard and a little bit more around our yard, "Penedendria."
Penedendria consisted of; our back yard which had the tree house, barn, dog house and fenced in area. The tree house was always the mayors house (who was usually Brian, Jon, Harry, Ian or I, depending on how old we were because we eventually got too old :( ). The barn or the garage would be a car repair shop/Garage. The rest of the back yard the rest of us kids could pick what our house was. In the front yard what was a part of Penedendria was the car port, the basket ball hoop, the garage, the crab apple tree and behind the garage. The car port was usually the general store (because you could go into the house and get stuff). The basket ball hoop was the main gas station for out bicycles (the garage and barn were also gas stations). The garage was the fix-it shop/gas station for the bicycles (because that's were we had all the wrenches and stuff... we didn't have the best bicycles on the planet). The crab apple tree and behind the garage were choices to live.
The rest of Penedendria was not in our yard but rather down the trail; this was the out skirts of town. In the out skirts of town there was the "Trail", "Brian's Creek", "Seven Islands" and the field in between our house and the trail. When we went to these places we would just explore, it was SOO COOL!!!
How did we play town? we would get our bicycles and ride around the yard/down the trail, go to the general store (car port) and buy things with our fake money. Oh, sometime we would have a barber shop on the porch and that is where we would have our made up town gossip. We would go to the gas station and get gas. We would get our bicycles checked out by the "mechanic" (Jon, Harry, Ian or I). We would talk to the mayor about the town rules. Growing up "Town" was one of my absolute favorite games ever!!!

Thanks, to Brian for the wonderful idea for the game and the name of the town!
Thanks, to Harry and Ian for making the tradition of town live on until Heather and Jennifer were too old to play it anymore!
