Nostalgia

Last night we said goodbye to my grandparents' house.  With all the kids grown, Pop-pop doesn't need a house that big, but still... it was weird seeing it so empty.  The way I saw this house reminded me of the scenes in "Titanic" where the old Rose sees the dilapidated ship but it morphs into what she remembered... Mom-mom's flowers in the front yard, the gigantic dining room table and Pop-pop's desk against the wall of the office. Plus--it's where we filmed the original "The Girl with the Dirty Feet!" We toured the empty house and told stories. I'm glad that I got to see it before it sold, but I cried a little. It's so weird. Things are changing and I don't like it. Growing up stinks.
