The walk back in time to Hudson's grocery brought additional recollections of...
the sun, truly blinding like the entire earth was a mirror. The heat and humidity that would take one's breath away and make the healthy seem asthmatic. The 10 blocks seemed like miles. White wooden picket fences that needed weeding around the bottom and painting on the top. Raised sidewalks from 40-year-old tree roots. The shade, 20 degrees cooler from the weeping willow trees. The smell of honeysuckle. The metal handle, just below the RC Cola sign, and the creaking of the overstretched spring on the wooden screen door. The jingle of the bell that let the butcher know a neighbor was in. The sound of stiff, white butcher paper being wrapped and taped on the thick cut bologna. The sound you made after that first big gulp from the ice cold coca-cola.

Since both comments were penned by "anonymous," I think it's only fair to point out that as far as I know, they may have been written by my best friend and my mother and are not necessarily an accurate reflection of my ability.

Beats having your best friend and your mother tell you you suck, though.
