My mom would always mention the judge and his wife when we would go up that curve past the home. It was always a sad feeling and still is today when we visit there even though the home is long gone.

Moved back 2 years ago and am often overwhelmed by the changes. Nice to stroll through memory lane and remember the simpler times. <br /> Are the dates for these book signings for this year?<br /> Thank you, Terri Bissell <br />Pocolocogs@gmail.comTerri Bissellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08463150225297549351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044871296266283992.post-81949741247418784252018-05-18T07:33:54.381-04:002018-05-18T07:33:54.381-04:00did you go in because there are photos of the coup...did you go in because there are photos of the couple there.Cyndihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10054409866374810311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044871296266283992.post-62179367593832650002017-04-17T20:04:43.584-04:002017-04-17T20:04:43.584-04:00Thanks for your comments, Betty!

My mother would drive from the south end of West Palm Beach, to take the Catholic girls to Mass in Hobe Sound. Remember taps, singing grace, the manatees, the peacocks, etc. Of course, this was in the 50's when life was so much easier. Thanks for the memories!!<br /><br /><br />Betty Thomas Callandernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044871296266283992.post-44193020577159577982016-04-02T15:35:44.529-04:002016-04-02T15:35:44.529-04:00My maternal grandparents owned Surf Cottages, just...My maternal grandparents owned Surf Cottages, just a bit south of the double roads. I was able to spend a lot of time as a child playing on the beach there ... best beach spot in PB County. Once an adult with a car ... the double roads took on a totally different meaning for me. It was where I went when sad, just to listen to the surf hitting the sand. It was kinda like holy ground to me. Sit for an hour or so, then go back to WPB and my apartment. This was all back in the 50's and 60's, but the memories will never fade. Thank you for your writings, Ruth Berge.
