Taking a walk down memory lane.

Well day two of my trip and it was a walk down memory lane. Some was good and some was sad. I went back to my old neighborhood that I somewhat grew up in. Well I basically lived there since three days after I graduated High School until I went to College in Savannah, GA. So I’d say I was there about three to four years.

The house has changed a lot since I lived there. It use to be brown with big beautiful shrubs in front and a plant island that my mother worked on every day and won awards on. Since we have been gone, it’s been through about 5 owners and renters. I’ve heard that the new people have started to revise it and make it look good again. So we will see how it goes. And now for the sad news. I had to go visit my old neighbor and give my condolences for her past away husband Tom. Tom was a great guy, he was your typical southern good ole boy, but he was also a great husband, father, step-father, mentor, and man. He loved to fish, drive his big pick-up trucks, and crack some of the funniest jokes you will ever hear. He passed away about two weeks ago from an enlarged heart that collapsed his lower lungs. My mother loved him and I loved him too. Here is a picture of there house and his wife Emaline.

Now for the Rat Pack, this is a picture of my two oldest friends from GA. Steve and Mike, I swear we got in more trouble together than anyone else on the planet. Oh those were the days! Needless to say we all did some growing up, but yet in still we are all the same. We look the

same, talk the same, and are still doing the same things. Yes most of the mischief has stopped, but in ways it still hasn’t stopped. All I know is that I still love them like brothers and that will never change.


Well it’s another beautiful day here in Atlanta, GA and I’m off to do some shopping and see my Aunt. So I will talk to everyone later.
