MURPHY'S LAW: What ever happened to family picnics?

Westernport, Md. —
As we were sitting around the patio table on the Fourth of July my son Brian asked, “Whatever happened to picnics? Nobody goes on picnics anymore and they were so much fun!”

It’s true. I can’t remember the last time we had a family picnic. Poor little Marissa doesn’t even know what picnics are.

I think perhaps one reason why we went on so many picnics was because in those days we didn’t have air conditioning and it was a whole lot cooler in the mountains. I can remember my mother’s words: “Let’s pack a lunch and get out of this heat!”

We were never in a hurry to get back home either and would stay there until dark when it began to cool off back home. The change in temperature between our house in Luke and Deep Creek Lake in Garrett County was a good fifteen to twenty degrees. Sometimes when it would be in the nineties at our house, we would arrive there only to discover it was too cold to go swimming!
