Highlights: Lauren realized at 7.40 that she had to be at the train station at 8.10, not 8.30. That came early enough to ensure we got her there with 6 minutes to spare. We picked up the weed spray (Thanks, Jess) and ended up going on a mini-drive around and about my childhood, past my schools and assorted spots with all sorts of history and stories. The neighborhood around Holly's childhood home was the most impactful, along with Hyde Middle (formerly Jr High) School, where one of the two images here was taken in the early 70's. It was and is wonderful to have so much history surrounding me and so much of Jennifer's, too. I'm glad we still live here. It's filled with memories, enough so that even the bad ones are good once when looked at with the gratitude of experience. I did some weeding, writing and more weeding. It was a great day for digging in the dirt and pulling up some roots.
