And the Festival.

How lucky you were to have such happy memories of being at your Gram’s house!

They have a real nice little Farmers Market once a week downtown there starting in July. I signed the abortion rights amendment petition there!

I had a Grandma’s house that gave me happy memories, too. 5 minute walk from Harding High school.

comfortable house, welcoming steps, with awesome trees.
Reminds me of staying overnight at my grandma's house, watching Johnny Carson and then climbing up into the big featherbed and falling asleep.
