Yesterday on Facebook I saw a photo posted by my Favorite Ex-Sister-in-Law, Cindy.
Cindy is Spencer Jack and Hank Frank's Grandma.
Which would make Grandma Cindy Jason and Joey's maternal parental unit.
The photo was of the group sort, a collection of baseballers assembled for some sort of baseball thing at Lake Padden in Bellingham.
Bellingham is the last semi-big town one drives through on I-5 before reaching the border with Canada.
Lake Padden Park is of the sort I really do not see much of in Texas. As in a city park which is HUGE, with multiple amenities. Miles of trails, some quite challenging. Excellent swimming. Multiple playfields for various sports. Amenities like modern restrooms and water running out of a faucet. This park can get a bit overwhelmed on a HOT summer day. When I lived in Washington I frequented Lake Padden frequently.
And this is not even Bellingham's only big park. Whatcom Falls Park is a scenic wonderland the likes of which do not exist at my current location. Again, miles of trails, a swimming hole like something out of a a movie.
Think Blue Lagoon without palm trees.
But containing a forest of big old growth evergreen trees...
Anyway, back to Jason & Joey. The photo above, cropped from a larger photo, was taken in 1989. That is Jason on the left, making that Jason's little brother, Joey, on the right.
Cindy remarked, in a comment on this post, that this year, the 1989 young version of Jason turns 42.
Turns 42, with a kid, Spencer Jack, older than Jason was in 1989.
The rapid passage of time really is not for the faint hearted...
