This is the house I lived in as a teenager
with my parents and two younger sisters.
Allen and I were dating then. We recently
took a journey back to Gulfport to look
around and see how things had changed.
The house looked much the same, but the
yard had been landscaped.
Several streets over from our house was my
grandparents' house. It looked almost exactly
as I remembered it.
And this is the high school I graduated from.
It seems like a life-time ago when I walked
these halls.
And this is the little house that Allen and I
lived in after we married. We did not live
there very long, tho, because the Air Force
sent him overseas.
in Gulfport---Turkey, Germany (twice),
South Carolina and Georgia. And here we are
over 40 years later, in Prattville, still enjoying
this journey we call life.

What a neat trip!
weren't you happy that your parents home is still being taken care of so lovingly? all of the snapshots show care to the surroundings~
Lynne, I love your 'blog'. You are very talented with your camera. Beautiful pictures. Grandchildren are so precious. How exciting to have twins!! Thank you for sharing.

I would love to take a trip like that! I grew up in Colorado and North Carolina, and have not been back to either in years and years. Your high school is such a beautiful building - they don't make them like that anymore!
What a wonderful trip! Thanks for finding my blog so now we can "keep in touch". Or at least up to date with what's going on!
These really bring back memories!!! Our old house in Gulfport looks great and I certainly remember you & Allen's house and I would come by a lot of nights just in time for supper!! Great pics!!!!
