Wedding vehicles are out of storage

My dad. Jesse an brittney pulled the 52 truck and the 17 Model t roadster out of storage this morning. My parents drove the model t when they got married thirty years ago. Bee are going to have a friend sort it out and get it going so brittney and I can drive it our wedding It was the first car that my dad restored with his dad when he was sixteen. The truck is so cool. My dad built it in seventy five when he lived in California. Bit was painted by Jim Davis who worked with big daddy Roth. My dad used to pik me up from kindergarten and first grade in this truck and it was the coolest vehicle in town. I think this was due to the color and paint job more than the truck itself. Haha

on monday, i surprised my mom for her b'day and went home.  my hometown is small; i grew up downtown next to the college.  we could walk everywhere: to church, to the bakery to get candy and smiley face cookies, to my parents' offices, to school (i actually only did it twice & hated every minute of it), to restaurants, and to our favorite hangouts to meet old friends....
i love going back.  i always go to the same places, now w/ my kids, maybe to recreate my childhood memories: smiley face cookies, chocolate glazed doughnuts (my dad got these every sat. am), story time at the library (which happens to be done by my mother still)...i've added a few new things: a walk to get the best coffee (drew barrymore stopped here too), i pop into the local antique stores (that don't have air conditioning for some reason), i always visit the post office (i haul fabric everywhere), and a quick trip into the cute clothing boutiques.  yesterday, i walked to pick up my mom's favorite chicken salad, i took the short cut through the bank to get there, and i passed so many familiar faces.  it made me smile.  that is something that you cannot replace....it's just home.  and it feels so good.
