Not a great composition by any means but one that hit my heart strings. I think that memories don't need edits.
Mr. S and I had gone downtown to pick up his bike after it was tended to at one of the local bike shops. We also needed a trowel to do some digging in the garden so we stopped at hardware store just down the block from the bike shop. Robnetts has been in business for 100+ years ( https://www.robnettshardware.com/ ). It was so nice to see a Corvallis institution still around. This is a store which still has the wooden floors that creak as you walk around. The sound brought back a flood of memories of dime stores and such from my childhood. I will make the effort to shop here when I need some small pieces of hardware. Big box stores don't have the personal and individual service that this store offers.
@amyk@onewing@robz Thank you so much. Much of downtown has changed but much has not too. The river walk area was just new when we left 25+ years ago. It has since become a great place to relax and get some exercise.
