And speaking of nostalgia and bygone summers, Suzanne, I just finished rereading the last page of Bradbury's DANDELION WINE last night, as promised. That book never fails to take me back to childhood summers and visiting my grandparents in Indiana. Those were sweeter, slower days.

And your poor grand pa's Buick,they must have been tipsy to mistake a car for a deer, and then the cow.

The first pair had a pink and white checkerboard pattern.<BR/><BR/>Amy - Oh yeah. Pouring over old photos is called "photo therapy".<BR/><BR/>Paula - Leeches!!! We encountered those when we went swimming in someone's watering hole. The bottom was all mud and we emerged covered with leeches. My grandmother was screaming for a full 20 minutes. You would have thought it was a horror flick.<BR/><BR/>Julie - It was always fun at grandpa's house.<BR/><BR/>SA - Isn't it funny what we called some of the clothing back then....shifts and muumuu's. <BR/><BR/>Linda - I skip the fashions (eyeglass or otherwise) the second or third time they come around.<BR/><BR/>Heidi - The schoolhouse was somewhere outside of Rice Lake. I think it was somewhere in the Wisconsin's version of the Bermuda triangle..between Rice Lake, Barronet and Shell Lake. We went to Rice Lake for restaurants, Shell Lake to swim and I have no idea what Barronet is known for. <BR/><BR/>Oh Suzanne! Nope I never felt that.<BR/><BR/>Vee - I wear those shorts in a pinch, but try to stick to long pants. <BR/><BR/>Jill - My grandfather kept an old Buick in addition to the Cadillac. The Buick was his fishing car. He got plenty mad when the crazy hunters shot the Buick......mistakening it for a deer. There was probably some alcohol involved.<BR/><BR/>Karen - If we wait long enough everything comes back in fashion. Unfortunately.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for going along in the Way Back Machine!<BR/><BR/>- SuzanneSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475380451527801666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-67778563769777061252008-07-06T14:00:00.000-07:002008-07-06T14:00:00.000-07:00What a fond memory.
