SAM Saturday challenge by 
is a wonderful way for all of us to get to know a little more about each other.
I grew up in a small town in northern Illinois. It was an ideal place to grow up in the 60's. My dad's family had moved there just after the Great Depression, and my dad and his 3 brothers had grown up there as well.
Everyone knew each other. I had been inside almost every house, or at least in the doorway when I went around selling Girl Scout cookies. I knew every crack in the sidewalk. And we all knew which payphones always had a dime to be found in the coin return slot. Many of us graduated high school with the same group of kids that we had started kindergarten with. We all knew each other's secrets.
My maternal grandparents lived around the corner from our house and my paternal grandparents lived 6 blocks away. All of my aunts, uncles and cousins lived withing walking distance
This painting of Main Street was done by a high school classmate and it has hung in my living room for years.
Even though I now live an hour away, it will always feel like home.
