The desserts are wonderful. I'm not real big on desserts, but it's hard to pass them up at Cole Farms! Yes, you're right ... these times are more precious now than they've ever been as we all scatter to the 4 winds. I'm sure that you realize that as much as anyone would ... *comfort* --- William - don't give up on trying to buy that little house you were born in - you never know when the current might relent. You may only have one memory from there, but it sounds like it's a pretty wonderful one ... --- Ahh Ian ... it's good to know that my blog may occasionally affect you in the way your blog always affects me ... :o) I've had two recent experiences with finding people I hadn't seen in 40 years. Both were real revelations. We simply seem to be who we are ... time affects the outside, hurts and joys affect the inside, but we are still the same little child who experienced the memories we reminisce upon today. Time is a harsh mistress ... she carries us along in her wake, but leaves the sights, sounds and smells of where we've been intact, only misting the edges, making them even more evocative. Thanks for visiting Ian. I really enjoy your comments. --- Cathy ... I'm going to have to come over and take a look ... and then come back here and fix it for you! *comfort* I hate it when I do something like that on someone else's blog ... and I do it all the time! That's why I added the live comment plug in, so that you can see what you're typing as you type it. (below the comment box) --- Wanda ... thank you for visiting and leaving a comment. The waterfall looks pretty peaceful in the picture, but when the Androscoggin is angry, it really is frightening. There's been one major flood in the last century, and it took down what was then the only bridge between the twin cities of Lewiston and Auburn. --- Kt ... listen dear ... if you come to Maine, I'll bring you to Cole Farms! *LOL* :o) Pattie … it’s a great place.

If your old school still existed, you could walk into those halls, the same smells would be there and that would take you right back to 5th grade, or whenever. About five years ago I found a name on the Internet and it referred to a girl I went through school with, right from kindergarten. We had not spoken or seen each other for 40 years. I contacted her. Found out she didn't live very far away, even though we both live a long way away from our childhood homes. We agreed to meet for lunch. The moment we saw each other, four decades later, we recognized each other immediately. And then we kind of picked up in conversation where we left off. We are now in regular contact. Gee, Moof, your blog gave me much to think about.

The lil'shotgun house I was born in still stands, try as I do, the owners have resisted my offers to buy it over the years. I do not know why I feel compelled to have it as I only have one memory from it, my Grandmother use to make me a lil'fried pie from cinnamon, sugar, and butter. You are right, we can never return.

A restaurant that has over 40 desserts HAS to be good ;) It is nice to hear that you had such a wonderful gathering with the special people in your life...especially now that you know big changes will be happeningfor you in the not too distant future. That makes these times even more precious than ever. I would love to check out Cole Farms. A restaurant that has over 40 desserts HAS to be good ;)

I miss you both an awful lot. When you're not around, I feel as if part of me is missing. --- Lakshmi ... thank you for visiting me and leaving a comment. Yes, we're hopeless romantics. I've come to the conclusion that I should avoid going anywhere near anything that raises that sort of sentimentality ... sometimes it's just too acute ...

I ALWAYS feel nostalgic when I visit my parents' house (and that is EVERY WEEK). However my husband does not seem that sentimental about his childhood places. Guess women ARE hopeless romantics :) I wonder if this nostalgia is a gender thing . I ALWAYS feel nostalgic when I visit my parents’ house (and that is EVERY WEEK).
