This week’s Monday memory relates to a picture that appeared in a supplement to our local daily paper the summer that Marshall was eight years old.
(I’ve shared this photo on the blog before, but it was several years ago, so it may be new to some of my readers.)
The article was about our small library, which, at the time, was located in one of the older homes in town. Space was at a premium, and there was a limit on how many books could be checked out at any given time. In later years, the library would move to a new location in a renovated school building.
Now, for my memories: this photo was obviously taken during the summer. Those little shorts Marshall was wearing were called “jams”.
My top was pink and was a ‘popcorn’ type design. Ah, to be that young again: no wrinkles, no hesitation in wearing sleeveless tops….
I love how intently Marshall’s looking through the books on the shelf, trying to choose just the right ones. The article noted that one of the books he chose was about the planet, Mars.
Another memory, another smile. And can I just ask where the time has gone?
