so, i’m bored. and that never leads to anything productive…i decided to look around on google maps….i thought to myself, “self, what was the name of that street that your grandma lived on????” and i knew kind of where it was in houston, so i searched for it and found it…and then i took a walk down memory lane.
b/c google maps has this feature where you can see actual photos from the street level on the map. and you can move up and down the street and turn around and stuff….wow….so here is what i think is my grandma’s house. mind you this is like 20 years later after it has left the family, so no judging us by its appearance. yes, it’s the one buried behind the overgrowth of greenery.
and here is the house i was raised in (for at least ages 2ish to 10ish)…i remember the light pole in the front yard….
and i even found the house my mom lives in now…with a picture of her car in the front driveway…she has only had that particular car for maybe a little over a year? so this pic was recent. i think the google map picture takers should knock on your door and see if you want to stand in your front yard and smile when they take your house’s picture…that would be fun. i of course will not be showing you the picture of my mom’s current residence for security reasons, but trust me, it is weird to see.
of course i tried our house that we live in now and it had no pictures…i guess no one has taken pics of this street yet.
you should check it out…even if you don’t see the picture pop up in the little bubble that pinpoints your address, you can hit satellite and then you can see pics from the air of your address….here is one of our church…
this was also taken at least in the past 2 or 3 years…b/c that playground equipment in the back was bought i think in 2004? when i zoomed way in i can tell who was at work at this particular time based on whose cars are in the parking lot. i told you i was bored!
tomorrow is our last sunday at the above pictured church and i’m starting to get a little sad. and of course way anxious about what happens on monday when we are both jobless! ok lord, anytime you want to sell this house or give us some jobs or something i’m ready!!!!
i’ve always wonderd what the top of the church looked like..and again..not very good w/ goodbyes..but..yeah..thanks for spending like…$500 dollars on me in baby-sitting fair…if ur child is corrupted in his later years…u’ll know why
j/k…

Hey! I mapped out my school and it was CREEPY!! If Google can do that publicly just think what the military can do under Top Secret Code.
Anyhoo! I didn’t get to stop by and say bye after church. We’re going to miss ya’ll and Dean is going to miss his little buddy Deacon. We’ll keep up with ya’ll through your blog. When ya’ll are back in town we can try to get together for a play date.
Happy Trails!
