I had my camera with me on my trip home and took a shot of the house.This house raised me and my 4 siblings. It was a house filled with teen-agers and many family gatherings. One coming up soon as we all rotate in and out over the holidays.
My parents produced 5 kids in just under 6 years. So we are stair-steps as they use to say. The biggest span is a year and a half between myself and brother number two. We are boy, girl. boy, girl, girl- I am 4th child second daughter.
When ever we are home Mark and I walked down to the "historical district" and visit a few of our local favorites.
There are not as many of the "dives" left, but you can still find good beer among the ferns.
A local institution is the Do-nut Dinette. Where Mark and other Brother-in-laws go out for breakfast while the sisters drink coffee and tea and talk about what sisters talk about.
They still make do-nuts fresh daily. Which Mark now eats maybe once a year. He could do more in the day!
They also frown if you bring in coffee from Starbucks.
I am a walker and a few years ago noticed Mark would come with me while we were in town. I figured out why after realizing he came back with a coffee in one hand and a do-nut in the other.
We can't get that here!
Mom is doing well and heading home in the next few days.

thanks guys!
wish we could all go grab a cup of joe and a do-nut!
Do Nut Dinette - I really like saying that - looks like a great place to hang out. So glad your mom is doing well.
Glad things are looking up. I'm wishing the whole family much healing and happiness during the holidays.
No words; just hugs...
thanks-M
