I'm not sure why, but recently I really wanted to go sketch some of the places that were meaningful to me as a kid. The old railway station is gone, but these two buildings are still there...one almost unchanged.
 |
| I took ceramics classes here when I was in third grade! LOVED it, too. The building is for sale, and while I sketched a young couple came to look at it. I hope it will be in use again! |
 |
| This is the only thing I have left from those days...I STILL like the interesting clay, with chunks in it... |
 |
| This was my uncle Ed's grocery store...they'd deliver, and whenever we ordered Ideal Dog Food, he would bring me one of these cute little metal advertising dogs you see in the lower right corner. (Yes, I DO still have one!) It's a small engine repair place, now, and has been for 20 years...much changed but still in use. |
