Yesterday we had a long walk down memoray lane:) After a stinking Hurricane (not really but I did wonder if a tropical depression had snuck up on us!)....we finally left my friend's house and headed for JOHNSON'S BAKERY! Johnson's is EPIC in Perry! When we walked in the door, the SMELL was the same as I always remembered. The owner Doyle was still there behind the counter and they still had the great cookies, cupcakes and doughnuts and YES I sampled it ALL!!
Saw one of our friends from school, Anthony who is now a writer for the local paper, a teacher and an author!!!!
the local newspaper...the TACO Times
We walked around downtown as best we could in the rain. Lots of the old stores are gone, kinda sad...
We went by our old high school and it was open so we had to go inside:)
the trophy case, there was even one from 1983 for something
the old water fountain
Loved the library:)
Doesn't seem like it could be 30 years ago
Angela was trying to go in the Art room LOL
this is the house I grew up in... Ok I've not lived at home for 30 years, Jon & I inherited it years ago and sold it as soon as we could....it looks a bit rough to say the least.....
this was my home church growing up. Believe me I spent MANY hours there LOL
Then for the finest seafood (along with steak or chicken) you could want, we went to DEAL'S Famous Oyster House "where the best people in the world walk through those doors" If you are ever in Perry, take a 5 minute ride down West US Hwy 98 and get some some good food! They even have fried pickles!!! They also have opened a new Deal's in St Mark's at 785 Port Leon Dr, St Marks's Florida. go get you some fresh seafood!
Angela and Zodie the owner
Zodie playing the Pogo Stick
No it's not fancy but I can promise you it's got some GOOD food!!!!!
Zodie, who is my friend from school, waitressed there for years, she has now bought it and it is a real family restaurant, no alcohol just good food and fun. I'm really proud of her! My friend Rhonda who works there even bought my lunch:) They some good folks!!!!
We had our class get together at the beach, at the Hot Dog stand and it was really great to see everyone. We all got to talking so much, I even forgot to take pictures:) It stormed a little off and on but everyone had a great time. I think with time, you really start appreciating everyone. Tonight is our big get together and I will take pictures LOL
The family is doing well, or at least that is what they are telling me LOL
Hope you like the pictures. Good memories.....
