On a snowy day over 60 years ago, Momma bundled me up in my snowsuit, Daddy grabbed his camera, and my black Cocker Spaniel named Flop and I went out to play in the snow. We posed in the back yard for the first of many photos that day. We went into Jesse Gile's (our next door neighbor) yard to build a snowman and snap another series of photos. That snowman is as tall as I am!! Yesterday I walked down 6th Street to the house that I grew up in to capture a memory. Holding that old photo in just the right position proved more difficult than I anticipated, but I still got the shot I was hoping for. I spent the first 7 years of my life in that little white house in the background and I love living on W. 6th Street once again. Have a wonderful weekend everyone and take a bit of time to go back to the snowy days of your childhood. It will bring a smile to your face and warm your heart too!

I knew Jessie and Lucy. Spent many hours in their home with my brother and sister and Betty and Kenny. Had no idea you grew up on 6th Street.

Yep, we were there through 2nd grade @ Newton Elementary. When South Newton opened, we moved to Dogwood Hills.

My great-grandmother's house (Aileen Garvin) was on this street.

I have always loved 6th Street and all those childhood memories…walking to Mrs. Seckler's kindergarten as well as 1st and 2nd grade and the raft of kids that lived around here. When I got the chance to move back to 6th Street in 1988, I jumped on it!

I think that was very well done, Sharon. It took me back to some snowy memories in Michigan...

The snow was always deeper back then, the snow cream tasted better, the hills that we sledded down were steeper, the snowmen taller . . . simpler time, wonderful memories. Glad you enjoyed the Postcard CB!

Thanks Suzy. I've been wanting to do this for a long time and Mother Nature finally cooperated. I'm not sure why snow brings back such sweet childhood memories, but it does it for me every single time.
