CRESCHENDOh ~ Art Saves

Yesterday was the most awesome and awe inspiring girls road trip ever.

We drove up to Orange, which is where where I grew up, and started the day by shopping.  We hit a couple thrift stores, then had lunch at Watson Drug Store.  When I was growing up in Orange Watsons Drug was owned by a classmates family.  It was the place to hang out. 

Being in Orange brought back so many memories of growing up there. 

I remember in high school all of us driving around the circle after a football game when we won and honking our horns.  Remember streaking??  Well we watched classmates do that too around the circle……that was the big thing in the 70s.  When I got married at a nearby church in 1980 we drove in the limo around the circle honking the horn and everyone in the wedding party following on the way to the reception.

Then we headed for Country Roads ~ my favorite store at the circle.
