PINE HILLS
THE OLD NEIGHBORHOOD
So do I miss Pine Hills? Of course I do! I will always have some fond memories of that place. That where my kids spent their growing up years. Walking my children to the corner bus stop to catch the school bus, taking them to school when it was pouring down rain, the pool that the kids loved , the deck my dad built one year when he came to visit, everyone pitching in and building a playhouse, first for my kids and then making it nice for Kristen in later years, the screened in patio a gathering place for family dinners, our ping pong table where Todd & Bump would challenge each other.

Todd jokingly said he remembered seeing the Ghetto-copters and remembers Randy jumped the back fence out into the the field until the spotlight found him and then proceeded to run back to the house quick as possible ,, memories, ha.
Then there was neighbors Elizabeth & George. She that said when we move they will move and they did just a couple months after us.
You kids grew up with, the Stoners, Pahuski ,Jeraulds. Sandy Ellis, the Evans, Jason, the little red head that played with Todd, there was Bobette Ethridge with Shannon & Heather, also Carolyn right next door. Dad remembers Todd catching a big bass in the lake behind the house, neighborhood kids helping us dig ground for our pool, the goats and horses down the road, measuring the kids height as they grew on door trim and then forgot to rip it off and take it with me when we moved. darn!
Building in garage for more room and dad projecting Batman , Wonderwoman , Spiderman up on wall for the kids to see and paint it. they was huge and likely still under the paneling to this day. everyone pitching in and helping dad build his new shed.
Dad's favorite of all his memories was having everyone over for roasting hot dogs outside under the stars with everyone setting around the fire and chatting late into the night. Do we miss all that ? YES we sure do! but you can't go back, but thanks for the great memories guys! mama
