SMALL WORLD

I live in a little, tiny, drive-thru town of about two hundred - a town that is known by very few people. I was born and raised in a city some 55 miles away. Surprisingly, one of my best friends since high school produced this photo for me ........ a picture of her mom- age 2 -sitting on the lawn in front of her grandma and grandpa's house..... circa 1932. This is the little bungalow across the street from my church - and you can see St. Mary's in the background. Amazing !!

    It is indeed a small world or as they say here "C'est un petit monde".

    Wishing you a fabulous weekend,

    Love it! Now, is this a new friend in your town or a friend from before?
    I'm so envious that you have this old photo of your church! I have a lead on some info for our house- fingers crossed!
