I enjoy poems or stories from people that can tap into their memories and write a compelling, nostalgic piece for that moment in time. You totally succeeded here.

So good to hear from you. I think you did offer condolences back then, so thank you then and now.
Why did I think you lived in Texas? I’m so envious of those experiencing Fall and cold weather. 91 this afternoon in Phoenix. Stupid.

Thankfully the parking garage lets me escape the elevator most of the time. But sometimes when I need to go to the lobby to get mail, I walk down the ramps of the garage to avoid the dreaded elevator.
Thanks for the read and comments.

Thanks, Adira. I went through a dry spell, but I’m coining back. I really appreciate the appreciation.

I would have felt uneasy with her reaction too. It was a seed that planted a doubt that something was done and did wrong when there was nothing done wrong.
Nice piece.;))-

I don’t trust anyone named Debbie with the exception of Debbie Harry and the adult star in Debbie Does Dallas. Triple D mind you …
The rest of the Debbie’s can suck my ass ….
BIG WENDY LIKE

Big thanks. It’s funny how names impact us. I have a good friend named Debbie, so she has helped blot out the mini bitch Debbie. I attract a lot of Steves, but maybe that’s because about 1 out of 3 guys used to be named Steve.

Outstanding piece of writing Pinkdreams. I never walked into a Publix, since there not located in the NY tri-state area. Your memories and description of this store is unbelievable. The poem was done so well that as I began reading it, I knew and felt we were in the early to mid 70’s. The photo is also an extra bonus. As we get older, certain places and landmarks disappear. Our memories may fade a bit as well. At the same time, a certain item or smell may bring us back and reboot memories that were stuck somewhere in our brains decades ago. Nice work.
