Jill's Auburn Maine

A new journal page with memories old and new from

my home town of Auburn Maine. The great Victorian

house we lived in once has it's copula represented here

which as a child I barely noticed, my Mother's

watchful, caring eye, my junior high school, a

newer old looking street light, Halloween was

such big and fun and exciting, the church here was where

I went to crafts classes and sang, Carry Away A Song

as we left each day--I'd be clutching my beads made out

magazine roll ups. ELHS stands for Edward Little

High School and to the left is Squire Edward Little himself

who I knew only as a silent statue watcher

on the school lawn ...there's my father with his

tipped back hat, a Balloon for the Fest they

have each year, some mountain ash tree berries

which were so prevalent on the streets,

a 1940s style shoe for Auburn

was once known as Shoe City with several factories'

my brother was in the top right corner but had

a slight complaint about it so that's how the

while starry sky came about, my sister's straight A's

report card I had no way to better, My mother's crypt

door where she was kept till warmer weather for

burial---they made sure she stayed there with

all that twisted rusty chain...

Crows I have always loved

to see and hear and Sumner will no doubt

have his own page in my journal

as the brother I dearly love.
