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.
