This weekend is gorgeous!  Makes up for the horrible Feb.  Yesterday was 1st day of spring and today is a repeat of sun and blue skies.

Went to my brother's house yesterday to celebrate my SIL b-day.  Mango margaritas, hamburgers cooked out on the grill and more desserts than we could eat.  We've all been vaccinated for more than 2 weeks and we didn't wear a mask.  It was absolute heaven!  I felt a freedom I haven't felt in more than a year. 

May we all continue to fight the invisible killer (covid-19) by getting vaccinated and stamping out the thing that has caused so much misery and death.  Better days are ahead, do your part in getting rid of covid-19.

Tomorrow is the first day of spring.  Hoping for a little less wind & a lot more sunshine! The buds on the trees are a sign of better days to come. There's a light at the end of this dark tunnel we've all been in for more than a year.  Hello sunshine!

Many thanks for the kind word, Paul.

I wouldn't call our Marfa lights all that 'mysterious' - at least after some of us determined they could be taken out by a Daisy BB gun! [sneaky]

Did Marfa Avenue have mysterious lights like Marfa Texas?  Probably not, huh.

Dale - Coincidence in house #'s, 1322 - we were on Marfa Ave., off Ramona Ave., which crossed Overton Rd. 

Coach Leon Turner, Clara Oliver Elem., lived 3 doors up on the corner for a while, Delma Williams lived 3 doors down, Sarah Duniho, Zita Campbell & Frankie Petrick lived 1 block down.

2 small drive-in grocery stores were on opposite sides of Ramona & Overton - V-Mac, where David Mitchell worked, and Dobb's (formerly Nick's since '36), where I worked for a big guy named 'Tiny'.

Our old tel# was FR-2212, then FR4-2212, then 374-2212; grandmothers' were WHitehall2-5229 (Lincoln) & -8041 (Robinson). [cool]

Now, I don't know what part of my brain that's stuck in.  But, there's another part that will say go on to the store - you only need 3 items (you already know where this is heading, don't you?).  Then, after walking all over the store, wracking my brain, I wind up calling home to ask what the hell that 3rd one was! [mad]

Lastly, I'd like to mention that today, Kathy & I are starting to celebrate our 25th "Silver" wedding anniversary.  It was the '2nd time around' for both of us and we've been blessed ever since - and so have our sons.  To be continued ... [thumb]

Dale, I'd forgotten about the party lines!  Thank goodness by the time I got to the 8th grade we had a pvt line.  We had the standard black telephone with a 25 ft cord on it.  Long enough I could drag it to my closet when I got a call I didn't want my little brother listening in on!
