Mini Family Reunion

Last week my husband’s sister, brother and wife joined us in a quick visit to our home town of Starkville Mississippi.  I wasn’t born there, but did attend high school.  I even married my high school sweetheart.
We no longer have any family living there, but did get to see a few people who are still around. 
The Main Street (2-1/2  blocks long has recovered some from the desertion that usually takes place when Wal-Mart goes up on the edge of town.  It was good to see a few reasonable places to eat now.

Obie’s is always a good place for lunch and to see all his Coke and other vintage memorabilia.

The house my parents built in 1955.
 

There were no trees until Dad got some pine seedlings from the Extension Service.  They absolutely dwarf the house now.  I can’t get used to seeing the house painted lt. blue.

I neglected to take any photos of the Mississippi State campus.  I guess we were too busy looking at changes and new buildings.  The grounds look great.  Some of the streets are pedestrian-only now so it wasn’t easy to park and get out and walk around.
