Lane, OK

Lane was a trip back in time. After the cemetary we stopped to visit the old corner store we all remembered. Well, it was still there, Cohen Store, looking exactly the same as it did in the 60's when our grandma lived there. Believe it or not, it was open. we walked in and there stood Mr. Cohen, still working with help from his daughter. Same front doors, same wood floor, same shelves, probably some of the stuff had been there as long as Mr Cohen, 47 years. It's the only store in Lane, pretty much the only thing in Lane, except the Post Office, which is not much bigger than a .37c postage stamp. Darla bought a "chick o stick" that tasted like it had been there 47 years and we told Mr Cohen about when we'd come to visit and walk for miles to get to his store. Really it was only about 1/2 mile.

More tomorrow maybe. Just like my Old 55

Hey cuz....that reminds me of uncle Ekron's store in Lufkin. It was like a time capsule. I discovered RC Cola and peanuts back then. Back then I'm not sure that shoplifting was invented yet.

I enjoyed visiting with you Wednesday. Thanks for being family.
