Sweet Home
The town where I grew up has not changed much in 50 some years. There are not many real businesses left though. WalMart has pretty much wiped out the downtown of Lebanon and is working on Sweet Home as well—though to be fair it was not all that thriving before WalMart. We spent Thursday night with my mom and did a little outing on Friday morning. The local museum was closed so we stopped at the library—which still has a total card system. I found the high school annual from my freshman year and copied some photos. On the way back to mom’s house, we passed an old friend from high school who I have not seen in many, many years—so stopped to talk briefly. We are now in Eugene for a touch and go and plan to head to the coast tomorrow so will be out of e-mail range for some time.
