Childhood Memories

The following pictures are mostly in the area where my sisters and I grew up. It was quite interesting (and scary in some places) to go back there and see how they look to me today. I know my family has come a long way and I thank God for that. He has done wonderful things for me, and continues to today!

Lawrence, MA - Bailey Street is where we lived when we went to St. Patrick's school. That yellow house (triple-decker) is where we lived - 3rd floor.

This is St. Pat's. The left pic is the playground where we had recess, yup, it's a cement parking lot. There is a line through the middle which meant boys on one side, girls on the other. The right pic is just a front shot of the school. It's a gorgeous school with old, dark, wood floors and walls, just beautiful. I should have tried to go in for a visit.

The green bridge we would walk over to go to church every morning before school, during Lent.

The left pic is where my Nana lived when I was young (we also lived with her at times). The middle pic is just a close up. The right pic is a little store, or at least that's what is was growing up. It was right at the end of my Nana's street. My grandfather would give us $1 for combing his hair (no he didn't have a lot of it) and we would go buy penny candy here.
