the old and new days

A day does not go by that i dont think about your mom.  my connection with her and your dad goes way back to when i was a little girl.  i used to go down to the fields at the end of plum street where all the strawberries used to grow.  i loved picking them and eating them.   it was so easy to walk to orchard from there.  

southampton was such a small town back then.  everyone knew everyone else. we even all seemed to know a lot of people in newtown.  i often wondered if southamptonites moved to newtown.  i think that newtown had the only catholic church around for a while.  anyway, your mom had dated my fathers cousin for a while before she married your father.

i used to walk further to get the school bus, so that i could be with all the people that i knew, rather than take the bus that was supposed to pick me up.  you girls got to live in a good area.  all the nice kids lived around there.  and you had a great set of parents.

alice went on vacations with us and we always had a real good time.  she fit in with everyone no matter their age. i am afraid i scared her a few times , but she took it like a champ.  we had a good time.  she is truly missed.  rest in peace.
