Precious Memories

Many years ago when our kids were little, as in the picture above, we used to make lots of trips to Texas.  One of our favorite places to stop was in New Port, Arkansas.
There was a small lake there and we loved the lake and the whole atmosphere of the place.  These pictures were taken June 11, 1960, 52 years ago!

Along the way just before we reached New Port there were several fruit stands.  We would stop and buy fresh peaches and take them to the park with us.  There was a water fountain and we would wash all of the peaches and then have a feast eating them, peeling and all. Of course peaches were not always in season but they were most of the times we were there.

I can almost taste the sweet delicious flavor of those peaches to this day.  I have never found any in the stores that taste that good. They would be just the right point of ripeness and so juicy and sweet.

The whole point of my memory though is  my two precious kids and my husband, Ford.  I was living the real life then and didn't realize it at the time. Now that I look back I would give my right arm to live that time again.

But at least I do have my memories to enjoy now.
