Sue Grubbs Perkins and Burgess B. Grubbs, who was in my class, posted pictures of our old home stompin' grounds, and I have to admit it made me a little bit homesick......okay. A lot homesick! The last time I went to Illinois it was to bury my mother, January 2008, and I was too sick at the time to visit any people or places, in fact I spent one evening while there in the ER. It would be great to go back and just drive around the streets of Milton and Pearl.
The pictures are the next best thing, but way down from #1.
The bandstand in the center of the Milton Square. I have no idea how many hours were spent there just hanging out with friends. I showed the picture to David, and he said, "Oh yeah, I used to ride my skateboard down that sidewalk."
The bridge at Florence as seen from the ball field, where I spent many Sunday afternoons. My family were all baseball fans (Cardinals!) and we would have a picnic there in the park before the games.
Detroit city limit sign, home of the Carter clan. We lived there the year David was in first grade. They still had a school at that time. Patti was 4 then, not in school.
Thank you Sue, for allowing me to use these photos.
Hugs to y'all
