Part 2 (A Continuation of) JB - A WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE
February 22, 2008

After visiting some of our old landmarks including Daphine Island, we visited with some old friends and dined with Debbie & Teddy, Gabe & Janna and there two precious children, Claire Fraiser & Winchester, and Rainer & her fiance’ Dan. This was a special treat and we are so glad they were able to share this time with us. We even got to visit with Uncle Bob and Aunt Aubrey for a few minutes.

On Sunday we went to the church where we were baptized. They had torn down the old sanctuary to make room for the new one, but the old nursery building where we stayed in the nursery, is still standing. The weather really got nasty right after church so we hurried into the Atlanta Bread Company for a bowl of soup and a sandwich. We scrambled to get into the car without getting blown away and soaked to the bone and get back to Christopher's apartment. The the rain soon let up a little and we headed to the final stop of our Walk Down Memory Lane.

This is “Rainer’s Roost” but affectionately known as

THE CABIN!

It was and still is located on Mobile Bay,
despite the pounding of many hurricanes.

Our visit took us back to many summer vacations spent…….

Playing with Cousins

Catching Alligators on Cane Poles

Surfing on a plywood surf board

Tubing behind Papa’s boat

Shrimping in Papa’s boat

Frying and Shelling those shrimp

Dropping live crabs in boiling water to cook them for dinner

Anticipating Jubilees

Climbing up the steps to the porch

Sitting on the Porch Watching storms come across the bay

Swinging on the Porch

Shooting snakes from the porch

Napping in the breeze

Peeling after too much sun

Baby Powderings by Granny after a hot bath

Walking out to the pole to find out how high the tied was

Playing in the slew

AND……Listening to the frogs and gators at night!
