A drive through the gardens

I went past the Mental Hospital on Center St today and it made me think way back to when my sweetie and I were very young. We were driving past the hospital and noticed that the walkways through the beautiful gardens (in 1966, the grounds were beautiful) were wide enough to drive on. We drove a bright red Triump Spitfire and it was kind of a small car; we took advantage of that some times. Anyway, we turned in and drove all over the gardens in the car. It wasnt long after that, they put a post up so you couldnt drive through. That always made us smile when we drove by.

A wintry garden

The garden of my heart is covered with snow. When I pray there is no answer.......

Spring Time....

O God, we have come to a wintry place, You and I. Will Spring Time ever come?

You can fly, but you cant hide.....

For the last week or so I thought I would feel better if I could get away. I have free passes on SWA (Thanks to our son's very hard work), so I flew to North Carolina to stay with my sister. The night of the first day I knew that was not going to work although I managed to stay 3 days. I came home on Delta because they had the soonest flight home. While I was there, I saw alot of things, and I kept thinking"oh, I want to tell Larry". Things like I saw the Biltmore Estate, (The Morley Manner to anyone that has seen the movie The Private Eyes), Jill's new house, Dale's new car, I got bumped to first class coming home; And, then of course the next thought; I cant tell Larry. Since I had a lot of time to think, I was thinking of you. Like at night when you were home and we would surf TV and I would ask you if their was anything new in your line of work and you always said "No, just the same old drag". Later when I got up to make lunch or clean the kitchen, you would say"Oh, I know what I wanted to tell you, "I love you". Then I would lean over and kiss you and go about my chores. Every time I see a mobile home I think of you saying "no, just the same old drag". Anyway, I am home now and wonder why I came home so soon but I quess it is a little more comforting to be at home than away. Anyway, "Oh, I know what I wanted to tell you, "I love you". --Me

The Ditch at Henn's Corner

There was a car in the ditch this morning at Henn's corner. Of course it made me smile to remember the night we had our first kiss. You said you were thinking about the kiss and you didn't slow down for the corner and went into the ditch. The big horse shoe that I had given you flew from the back seat and hit you in the head. You had a big knot on the back of your head, but years later, it still made us smile when we went past the corner.

Golf Course Tunnel

I was out at Senior Estates today and went by the tunnel for the golf carts . The tunnel goes under 214. When my sweetie and I were very young, we used to drive our 1966 Triumph Spitfire under it. When I went past the tunnel I thought of getting out the Triumph GT6 and doing it again but my luck has not been good lately. I would have been caught for sure. Looking back we didnt realize that those were the times of our lives!!!!
