Saturday-Arrival in Wilmette, Illinois. After living in the Hight desert for ten years, tree lined brick streets are more than a memory-a beautiful reminder of other times
The First Presbyterian Church is where my grandfather was pastor and my brother and I were baptised
Central school was just down the alley-less than a block from our house- where we attended grammar school and hung out at the playground in the summers and on weekends.
This was the house I grew up in-seems smaller now and the trees much taller.
This is the Wilmette Bowl which was in Gilson Park at the lake front( Lake Michigan).
This was a small area farther north called Plaza Del Lago where I had my first job at the snack counter of the Teatro Del lago.
The road tour ended as my friend Rick and I prepared for our reunion.

Nostalgia-rama! When do we get to start drinking - and what will it be? Beer for old times sake or single malt to bring back to the present?
Oh, I LOVE this walk down memory lane! It's so fun to see the places I've heard you speak of--and I couldn't help imagining you sneaking out that bedroom window of the old house. Thanks so much for sharing your memories.
