Early Day Street Scenes of North Loup, Nebraska.
The church brings lots of memories to mind...the ice cream socials, my first kiss, snow drifts high enough to build forts into, Our rabbits, Spotty's litter of puppies in the basement while watching Bonanza, learning the latest new dances in that same basement, the huge (to me) bathroom in the parsonage, cooking for 4H, burning my arm on a Sabbath morning when I bumped into Cathy with boiling cup of water in my hand, riding with Cecil Severance on his milk route and on his tractor, Sherm breaking his arm in the field near home and staying with him...
