Lost My Childhood...

It's the summer for losing my childhood. First, my parents decide to move and sell the house I grew up in. I know, I always knew that it would be sold, but I thought it wouldn't be until MUCH later. I wanted my kids to see where their mom grew up...just call me old fashioned. I also dreamed of having my wedding in the backyard...again, old fashioned. Then this spring, I find out they closed the pool that my friends and I hung out at while we were growing up. Ok, I can handle this...I hadn't been there in a damn long time...but still... THEN, I get an email from my sister with a subject of ELLISON BAY EXPLOSIONS. WHAT?! I went to the link that she sent me, and there it was...the last bit of childhood gone. The Pioneer Store that my siblings and I would go to for cheap candy is gone. The cottage across the road from where my family used to rent a cottage is leveled. It looks like a flippin' crater landed there. Scary thing is, my mom's cousin just got back from the resort and her other cousins were going to be staying in one of the cottages that exploded. Not cool Kool Aid.

Ok, there's my rant for right now.
