Here I go (reminiscing time)................
I spending lots of time at your house growing up:
Having to lift my feet as we sat talking in the kitchen because your mom was washing the floor ... at midnight! Walking in and seeing your dad sitting in the dining room watching TV. The cottage in Belleville and playing rummy with your dad. Dropping the sledge hammer on my baby toe as I was messing around in the garage. Meeting halfway between your house and mine. Running all the way to your house to see Elvis on Ed Sullivan because our TV broke (talk about a crisis)! David M. and I sitting on your sofa freezing because we had just come in from walking all over Allen Park in freezing weather. I think I remember that because I have a photo of it somewhere. And a million other great memories of you. Your friendship made my life wonderful.
Speaking of photos, I finally developed some of my mother's 35mm slides that I found stuffed in a drawer. They were too old to be able to see what was on them, so I got them turned into prints at WalMart. (They told me they don't do it any longer--I was the last customer. I think I should have gotten a Wally World award or something ... but she just looked at me like I was some alien). Again, I digress.
So, in addition to a couple of pics of my dad and and aunt & uncle in Chatham, Ontario, and one that I think is my grandfather and his wife, the rest are of, guess who, yep, ME. 1959, boy did I have a lot of hair ... the main thing I miss from my teenage years. And David (painting the peak and front windows on the house... even that didn't earn any credits with Ma. Also one of Noreen, John, Pat Sheehan, Stasch Bogucki, Diane Benedict and her boyfriend. Talk about a blast from the past.
