I also wondered if you slid down the laundry chute, but that was answered. <br /><br />I love this sentence,"A huge ringer washer stood nearby, mute on its four legs, waiting until Monday morning to do its work." Brings so many visions of a quiet machine waiting to be tasked it's chores.<br /><br />Thanks for Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10541262358255974325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2255018715652778469.post-21077103548564978002013-09-22T20:36:11.766-07:002013-09-22T20:36:11.766-07:00Thank you, Anna.

I happened to have some old photos from an album of pictures I took with my old Kodak Brownie in the early 50s that I scanned.

I want to attach a face (from yesteryear) to their stories. It's much easier to picture my grandpa causing mischief with a youthful face instead of his arthritic body today.

There is so much warmth in your descriptions of life in Columbus that it just makes the reader feel good. As for that laundry chute, we have a very small laundry chute in our house that my 2-year-old granddaughter just discovered this week as she plopped a board book Kathleen Cassen Mickelsonhttp://oneminnesotawriter.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2255018715652778469.post-76614438193586809222013-09-19T22:27:07.981-07:002013-09-19T22:27:07.981-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Davyd Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07999812635685036089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2255018715652778469.post-58699500162260427622013-09-19T22:27:05.380-07:002013-09-19T22:27:05.380-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Davyd Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07999812635685036089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2255018715652778469.post-37440429434223151752013-09-19T22:26:51.851-07:002013-09-19T22:26:51.851-07:00P.S.: We had a laundry chute--did you ever slide d...P.S.: We had a laundry chute--did you ever slide down it?

I had a friend who went to Ohio State and insisted on calling the city "Ko-lum-BOOS," I don't know why. Years later I was based out of Cincinnati (with Procter & Gamble) and no one referred to Columbus in such a silly manner. I regret to say that I never spent time there, only in Cincy and Cleveland. <br /><br />It Davyd Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07999812635685036089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2255018715652778469.post-71538880897567086732013-09-19T08:11:57.808-07:002013-09-19T08:11:57.808-07:00Thank you, Kate.
