NOT SO WORDLESS WEDNESDAY #18

This is for my mom and eldest sister, who haven't been to our hometown in years.

Last week I had to take Jade the stuff I made for her bake sale. I can't seem to be able to go there without taking a detour up to the house.

(this is the house where I spent my first 24 years):

.

Gramma's house:

.

The Women's Improvement Club..site of my eldest sister's wedding reception and a few fashion shows; and mom's Triple M ( I never did know what that really stood for)

(and why women needed "improvement", I don't know)

.

The house again:

The alley, looking at Gramma's garage:

The back of Gramma's house:

This is where we would turn to go home after Mom had picked us up from school. There used to be a mailbox there. When they took it out, she had trouble remembering where to turn:

.

This is my elementary school. (it's a horrible picture because I was driving and school was letting out. I was sure someone was going to take down my plate number and call the cops because I was taking pictures when all the kids were getting out of school).

.

That's it!! I'm sure I'll take tons more pictures this Saturday at Jade's walkathon. We walk around Grand. They have the whole circle closed for it.
