Mom was visiting with her sister and couldn’t see us out the window. Something scared us, most likely a big spider because that was a major threat as far as I was concerned. We jumped in the compartment and I slammed the door! Uh oh! It didn’t take me long to know we were in trouble.
It’s a really nice complex with a new bagel shop. It replaces a very old brick building where I saw Dr. Warren to have my baby teeth pulled. For 65 years dentists have been taking care of teeth in that little brick building.
I must admit that the big lure for me is spending time with my friend and that’s why my destination is Stromsburg. Dana and her husband did a wonderful renovation of the building which used to be the hospital when Bob, Dana’s husband, was young.
One day when I was walking by I saw the most hideous creature I had ever seen (I swear I just had an involuntary shiver). On the end of a branch, about a foot off the ground was a horned tomato worm.
However, last winter he would come into my room in the morning and because I slept on my side he was right at eye level to me. He’d tap my forehead with the cutie until I woke up so I could peel it for him.
It was surrounded by sidewalk on all sides so I thought it would be a safe place to plant Shasta daisies. They are hardy and make a showy display. … I loved how they looked but hated how they smelled.
His father’s family lived in Oak Creek, Colorado for a time when he was young. My husband’s grandfather worked in the coal mines. They had a large family and little money. The little kids would run alongside the tracks and pick up pieces of coal that fell off the train.
They would turn on the lights and sirens and drive a few blocks to the movie theater we had then. I would cover my ears and be scared silly. The theater was called El Grande and once we arrived there we’d line up, still bundled up to our chins.
One of the storage rooms at the Fabric Nook has a concrete floor. That is the spot where we are attached. A long time ago it was the ice room for both establishments.
I have memories of shopping with my Grandmother as a little girl. She always drove a Cadillac or a Lincoln Continental. It felt like a boat. We would go to downtown Denver and there were two parking garages that she used. One went up and one went down. Both scared me silly.
