Where to start? After taking my girls to the play ground yesterday, by the way the school put in a merry go round, I dicided to take a quick drive through the little town of Waldron. The old high school has been leveled, only a few concrete doorways still stand.Our class walk(a stretch of concrete with all our names in it and a small spot for signatures and drawings) was completly buried under five feet of ruble. I drove by my grandmothers old house, the new owners have replaced the beautiful iron on the front porch with ugly treated 4x4s. The drive in I worked at through my school years is now a pawn shop. My grandfathers old store is vacant and sitting useless. The infamous Corner Mart is still there, but they have painted it aqua blue versus the bright red it used to be. I have noticed two new stop lights there were only two now there is four, there was just one until the mid-ninties. The old phone booth is gone. Seems like everything that I remembered has changed. I was glad to see the old kindergarden building torn down in highschool, nothin' but bad memories of the wall I had to stand against through all those recesses. Seems like everything out here in the country has changed aswell houses gone and abandon, new houses built and of course the trailer houses pulled in. I don't remember things changing this much when I was younger, maybe I just wasn't paying attention. Last but not least my house. I remember how proud I was when I first bought it. I was twenty-one. It was gorgeous,a two story house almost twice the size of my parents house, it was just breath taking inside and out. Now the walls in plaster, the floors naked, all the furniture gone. Feels like I'm starting all over again with less than I had to start with before. I guess this what it's all about. Memories. Some good, some bad. Some still left to make.Just like mistakes.
