I remember going downtown to Woolworth's and popping a balloon to get $$ off the ice cream sundae I would buy at the counter. I loved going to "Drums in the Night" that use to be at St. Bernard's Field and loved all that it meant to me growing up. Thanks for leaving a comment on my sister's blog and love to find a kindred spirit. Oh, my husband just finished reading "The Shack" also,, and he loved it.Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652264313431556715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59504869006627653.post-38226561130280415002008-12-21T19:46:00.000-05:002008-12-21T19:46:00.000-05:00Such sweet memories, thanks for sharing them.

I'm sure she is with you always and that you probably feel her presence around you. She is alive in your heart! I lost my sister two years ago and I know she is with me a lot and that makes me feel better. My Mom is still with us, she's 86, and we're all heading to Disney on Jan 15th with her,(28 of us), can't wait, that'll be part of our Christmas! And we'll all be together then!Jean Tuthillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11683722965659309942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59504869006627653.post-51638265120647549442008-12-21T15:28:00.000-05:002008-12-21T15:28:00.000-05:00Your post was such an awesome tribute to your moth...Your post was such an awesome tribute to your mother.
