Berri circa 1980

I remember driving to Berri with my mum
Going shopping at Coombes Foodland
They had a bottle shop right next door
Hughie's other grandma Claire worked there
Isn't it amazing how memories coming flying back
As you're driving down some old winding track
Memories of Hughie as a tiny baby
Visiting him at his great grandma's place
Mrs Drogemuller and great Aunty Betty
Bodie the dog and the old grey whippet
I think I remember Poppa too: thin and tired
Sitting in his chair: what a blessing to remember
Times past that settle into your memories
Only to be brought back as you travel along
Life's busy highways: life's long and winding roads
Yes memories are just so amazing!
Thank you Lord for making us so beautifully!
