A Day of Nostalgia

On Friday my sister accompanied me to an appointment out of town and on the way there and back we stopped by our hometown and did a little sight seeing and reminicisng. But, you know how it is, you can always go home but you can never go back to the way things were. Our trip was fun and bittersweet all at the same time.

We enjoyed lunch at our favorite childhood restaurant and poured over the local paper. The food was not good, but it was so funny because we kept saying over and over how much we enjoyed the restaurant. Nostalgia will do that to you.

We stopped next to the river to take a few pictures and to explore the "new since we lived there" river trail. I've always love the river. Our place was about 1/4 to a 1/2 mile from  the river and I spent many happy days there on the banks and wading in the shallows.  Depending on the season, there was quite a lot of mosquito slapping, which I'm not nearly so nostalgic about.
