In the old days

This is an aerial shot of the house I grew up in and my elementary school.  This is the distance I would walk by myself s a little girl. I didn’t walk with friends.. I walked alone most of the time. I walk home for lunch and back too. Our neighborhood was right by Ft Sill and a main Gate plus two Main Streets in a military town that was so big we had 26 elements schools, 4 junior highs, 3 high schools and a college. 

I remember walking home and looking up at the green trees against a blue sky without a care in the world. I remember telling myself to remember those days cause I knew at some point I’d grow up.  

I was a scaridy cat… but never really thought to be scared to walk by myself to and from school at such a young age. Sure couldn’t do it now.
