I always planned for me and Dad to go back to Ohio, to visit the house we used to have on base at Wright Patterson AFB, the townhouse we had in Kettering.<br /><br />But I simply waited and waited too long and now my father is gone. Rather heavy sigh.<br /><br />Too late, too long.<br /><br />BZBloviating Zeppelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359816456769157176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-29331515703695759702010-10-09T11:23:18.361-07:002010-10-09T11:23:18.361-07:00My younger brother and I made a similar trip home ...My younger brother and I made a similar trip home to Greenville, Texas last summer. It's only 75 miles from here, but it had been a good 18 years or so since I'd actually made time to stop in and take a look at our childhood neighborhood and homestead in the Ardis Heights area.<br /><br />We were both shocked at how small the old house really was and the whole world just seemed to have shrunk to quarter scale in that area. Amazing how our memories are so different from reality as time goes by.Timothy Frazierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07233747022474584914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-86658025564213759762010-10-08T15:43:42.445-07:002010-10-08T15:43:42.445-07:00We'll all see ya tomorrow.

Like you said, I wish the old bridge was still there, we spent half our childhood on and under that bridge since it was right next to our property. <br /><br />From what I heard, there are only two houses now occupied on "my" side of the bridge. Our old house and Cotterman's, which is now owned by the youngest "P" girls, who grew up across the street.<br /><br />It'll all be bitter sweet, I'm sure.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03121530659338322937noreply@blogger.com
