Here's a peek at the blocks we'll be making this week! I've decided to sash my 3 inch blocks as I go, so I'll be writing up instructions for you to download if you would like to do this as well. Those should be ready in a day or two!
I couldn't resist taking a picture of what used to be a small grocery store just a block from the elementary school I attended. I had to walk by here on our way home and I can remember buying candy, and other treats - and on one memorable occasion a friend and I purchased a coconut. It was disappointing, we couldn't get it open! So funny! It was called Chet's Market.
Then we took a drive to Mineral Palace park. My brother and sister and I spent lots of time here growing up. It was only about 6 blocks straight down Main street. Lots of green grace, trees and flowers. There's a nice playground, and a swimming pool.
There is also a duck pond, and a band shell for concerts. As you can see, the park is right by the highway as was our house growing up. This picture is from the bridge over the pond. We loved riding our bikes over this bridge.
Here is the swimming pool - I'd love to say I learned to swim here, but I think we mostly just bobbed in the water! I didn't learn to swim until I was a freshman in high school! It was nice and refreshing on a hot summer day, though and I remember the pool being full of kids every day.
