I noticed the neighborhood kids riding their bikes with much elation today. I think it is probably the last day of school or at least the second to last day. NOW, this memory of last day of school comes with a question to my siblings. Do any of you have experiences of walking home from grade school and crossing "Ink Bottle" bridge. It was that small concrete up and down on the sidewalk. There was only water under the small bridge after a good rain. Why was it called ink bottle bridge? No prizes for answers.

Coming down the hill from the hardware store that bridge had another memory for me. If you were roller skating and could make it past ink bottle bridge, you had a great and fast trip down the hill. The big obstacle was to get over the gravel road between the first block and second block. I still have afew scares from wipping out there!
