Happy New Year to each and all! Hope the computer translator worked well. Many a new year's celebration and wish is behind us. For me, one of 2012's sweetest events was launching this blog. Never did I think it would receive the welcome it has nor the support. We hit 5,000 visits just before yesterday! This is a legacy for all of us to leave behind and to share now. There is a lot of material yet awaiting us and, hopefully, more opportunity for folks to send me photos and stories.
The Village lives on in each of us....let us keep up the wonderful work of keeping it going!!
Currently, getting the plan together for coming blogs. As of now, I am beyond
my written memoirs so keep feeding the blog!
Best of all wishes for 2013
Sandy
Here is a little gift to enjoy the holiday and get the
year going on the right note!
Hint: watch it full screen.

Hi, I have been revisiting your blog today. It is so much fun to read all of this. I had read before but didn't take time to comment. I lived on Floral Street and went to Hopewell School. The kids in the house next to me went to Fuller. I'm not certain why the separation was between the two houses. How well I remember those old photos and I believe I am in the one of Jigger's Variety Store. I am in the front corner and my Aunt Mae Parker is holding my hand. She has a flower in her hair. Jigger was my uncle (my grandmother's brother). I have been in Tucson, Arizona, since 1980 but love to visit because I still have relatives there. Every so often I get to see the Christmas display which is elaborate.
ReplyDeleteWell,Norma, I think I remember you!! And to know you are in the Jigger's Store photo is just great. Also, that you could call him Uncle Jigger and the beautiful Mae Parker Aunt! She was always such a lovely, sparkling person. I do appreciate your sharing and hope you will continue to do so. Welcoming any and all memories, photos, etc. it just adds to our collective enjoyment. Thanks, Norma, and Happy New Year,
