Yesterday I had the good fortune to spend the day in my sisters booth at the Menlo Park Art Festival. As I was driving to her booth I drove past where I got married the first time. Its a small church not far from the freeway. I didn't drive past it, just within a block or two, but it made me think a minute. As important at these houses were to me, how less important are the other buildings in my life? Or are they the same as buildings I lived in?
Is a school less important than the apartment house we lived in? I think that given the opportunity, I'll visit some old schools and use the rule of thumb: "If I can remember some 40 years later, its worth visiting if I'm in the area"
I think I can associate a school, or two, with almost every house I grew up in. That makes them life changing places in my opinion.
This blog asks how many houses have you lived in, and I think now it could also ask, how many schools... churches, club houses etc. have changed your life? Or your life changed within their walls.
