A girl I went to High school with- but lost touch with for about 16 years- called me out of the blue about a week after diagnosis and asked if she could do a fundraiser for me. It snowballed into a poker run, hog roast, auction and concert. <br />It's humbling. <br />I don't think something like that would have happened in a big city. There is something to be said for growing up in a small town.<br />As for your half lawn... hair is overrated. :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03768543185587699356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509891352300329836.post-80585580895183666232009-12-19T12:56:59.676-05:002009-12-19T12:56:59.676-05:00Ham Salad, Hardware and Jelly Beans. Its amazing ...Ham Salad, Hardware and Jelly Beans. Its amazing that a small town store ( Belchers & subsequently, Stillwell's) became a community catalist and gathering place. That building had served many roles within the community for over 100 years. (Including, Whore House, Hardware Store, Post Office and "General Store" & gas station. <br />On Sunday Mornings Marge would make her famous "Ham Salad" which was a combination of the ends of all the Cold Cut meats used during the week, combined with Mayonaise & Relish. We later discovered that (From Lundy) all types of "Meat" went into the ham salad: including a small ammount of ham. We Never Asked. Marge always pre portioned a 1.5# tray of the stuff for our family.

My dad would take Rachael(my firstborn) to the store to get chocolate milk regularly (probably 6-7 times a day!, more exciting than mixing it at home, I guess) Anyway, Lundy took a liking to Rachael and would give her "gifts". Among these were a sqirrel feeder (why attract more?) and a mounted deer head. Yes, a deer head. Just what every 3 year old needs. Very sweet (and misunderstood) man!<br />Merry Christmas to you and Amanda and the Baker-to-be-named-later!<br />Amy Pridemore<br />Amy PridemoreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509891352300329836.post-54500990316562649402009-12-17T20:15:54.830-05:002009-12-17T20:15:54.830-05:00One of the smartest things Dad and I ever did was ...One of the smartest things Dad and I ever did was to move to Sparta. One of my greatest memories was subbing in the schools and getting to know your friends. Some of my warmest memories were having your friends just drop in after school or practice or whatever. I wish everyone could have a Sparta/Highland in their memory banks.<br />Love, MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
