There is something about our
home town even if we no longer
life there.
There is or was a purpose to
our home town no matter how
long living there.
Foe me is a great place to grow
up. We lived on waterfront the
waterfront that my grandfather
Nightingale bought about one
hundred years ago. We no longer
own it as my parents sold it in
1988. I do look over from town
whenever I drive or walk.
The population has grown
double since I have become
an adult however I still think
about the good old days. It
still a small town and that part
of it will never change. Much
of the growth is outside the
town too.
They really need to expand the
highway that hasn't changed
since I was a child. At least they
need to add one more lane each
direction.
My dad was really into sailing. We
had three sailboats of different sizes.
Dad enjoyed racing as well. It is
always fun seeing boats out in the
Harbor.
One thing hasn't changed either is
the teenagers going into the big city
of Tacoma or Seattle when the opportunity
arises. That is what happens when
living in and around a small town.
