Ode to Arbuckle.I can't express my love for Arbuckle Park enough. If any physical place has a spot in my heart, it is Arbuckle, for several reasons.
1. When I was little, my sweaty little legs pumped on the swings, tumbled down the slides, and scuttled around the playground like there was no tomorrow.
2. My dog's first walk was at Arbuckle.
3. I've read many, many books while reclining in those little red wooden benches.
4. My first awkward, incredible, shocking date with Will was at Arbuckle.
5. Every year I would try to look cute for the boys at the 4th of July celebration :)
6. Many of my deep, meaningful conversations with people occur at Arbuckle.
7. I run in Arbuckle.
8. A shortcut through my neighborhood takes me into Arbuckle's depths.
9. When a non-Brownsburg friend traverses to Brownsburg, I almost always take him/her to Arbuckle.
10. When I have to cry, I know where to go.
11. My mock-sacrifice (as seen in picture) was held in Arbuckle.
12. Altogether, Arbuckle has always been there. No matter what. It is much like my little shelter on an island; when I go there, I feel like I'm as isolated as I can get. And I need isolation sometimes.
In short, I love you Arbuckle. Thanks for not getting ripped apart by a tornado or swallowed by the Flood. Love, Ashley.
haha. my dear friend, how i love you so. This made me smile. :)
ReplyDeleteand since i don't have a blog, i don't have a profile to comment from. this is your best friend chelsea terrell. i am considering the creation of my own blog. maybe this will be my inspiration. i'll write an ode to something that i love. but probably not arbuckle. because i have had so many injuries in that park that i can't possibly think of enough positive memories to write about. :)
