Washington Street

I've been informed that Mommom and Grumps are moving into a different house. It would be so unlike me to not write a nostalgic blog entry about all the memories we had there. So, here goes...

My Favorite Memories from Mommom and Grumps' House
-Playing Barbies in the black and white shag carpeted game room with the manly "Tammie" doll that, due to a lack of males, we used as a Ken
-Dressing up and putting on shows to entertain the adults (that time we impersonated everyone was such a hit)
-Summer days in the swimming pool (throwing detached barbie heads onto the beams overhead. Clearly, we were strange children)
-Eating celery and peanut butter
-Watching thunderstorms on the front porch swing
-The brown and white nativity scene that Mommom sets up on the chest near the front door every Christmas... and the boots that hang up the stairs
-Shoefly pie hiding in the old microwave
-All the nights that we had Tony's pizza set up on a card table in the middle of the kitchen... followed by someone blowing out candles on Mommom's famous chocolate cake
-Capturing ants on the brick driveway that we would try to keep in plastic butter containers but they always ended up dead
-Watching Anne of Green Gables on the old TV (her hair looked green even before she tried to dye it black)
-Playing Now You Have It, Now You Don't every Christmas and watching Mr. Bean even though we've all seen it a thousand times
-Grumps clearly falling asleep on his chair while we are watching a movie but claiming to be "resting his eyes"
-Throwing keys into the pool to dive for... and all the boxes of keys in general
-The magnificent, giant weed that grew in the bricks
-Grandma always watching her Gianni tape and Laurence Welk
-The scary set of stairs in the bathroom closet that led nowhere
-Bead hunting for the leftovers at the playground
-Feeling completely happy surrounded by the best family any girl could ask for

I'm sure that there are plenty more memories that I can't think of off the top of my head, but this list will suffice.

Much Love.
