Happy Earth Day 2010

20 years ago.

it was an earth day {that long ago} that sticks out in my mind.

so much so, that this morning i began rummaging through my old

high school scrapbooks to see if i had any pictures of anything.

however, all i had were these little souvenirs.

but, it's not these trinkets that make me remember that day so long ago...

it's this wonderful guy.

{my younger brother.}

1990.

we attended an earth day celebration in downtown dallas.

the details are a little blurry...

i'm quite sure we skipped school

and, i'm sure we were surrounded by happy, free thinking, lovin' people

i remember sitting on a grassy hill.

{not too be confused with a grassy knoll in dallas.}

did we eat at phil's in deep ellum afterwards?

not sure.

but, i do know...for a fact...

that i had an awesome time.

a time that i will always remember.

thanks for the happy memory troy boy.

and thanks for calling me this morning to wish me

a happy earth day.

{and, thanks for appreciating my mark twain post. i knew you would.}

here's to a happy mother earth.

and good memories.
