Day 170: It's been awhile since I've done a #ThrowbackThursday so I figured, why not? I've been thinking of Home a lot lately, feeling homesick I guess. This has now officially been the longest stretch ever that I haven't gone home to Timmins. I saw a photo posted the other day taken from the vantage point of the corner of Main and Golden on a South Porcupine Facebook page and it was one of the loveliest things I've seen in awhile. That intersection and the rest of downtown of SoPo is nothing to write home about...unless you grew up there. I had my first job at Blue Willow Variety. Bought my first submarine sandwich at Empress Submarine. I rode my bike downtown countless times and shopped at Pro Hardware, The Greenery, Clarks and Macdonalds Pharmacy. The post office was just down the street...mailbox 261. I went to elementary school there. Looking at that one photo brought back a flood of memories. Winter in SoPo is cold to be sure, but boy is it bright. That's one thing lacking for where I live now...they don't call it "Grey County" for nothing. Cold as it might be up north, I was always so grateful for the brilliant blue winter skies and the sunshine. Today's pic is for some of my oldest Friends. People I've known pretty well my entire life. Some I've lost touch with, some I hear from pretty regularly. I'm talking about you, Class of 2000. I think we should set up a reunion sometime soon, and we need to make sure Mrs H is there. Today, memories of Home made me pretty Happy. #ThrowbackThursday #SoPo #365happydays
