Our Front Porch

This photo is of me at age 5 in front of my childhood home. The house is now gone, a victim to condo building in Costa Mesa. It is nice to see our old porch and lawn swing. Looking at the brick arrangement and those two rocks just brings back memories to me. How many times did we turn over those rocks in search of insects or bugs?

I don't remember the stuffed animal I am holding. I do remember having a whole ton of them that I would set up on my pillow each morning and then throw on the floor each night. The life of a kid.....
