That's our driveway on Memorial Drive in Appleton, Wisconsin. Right next to the Fox River Bridge. My grandma Marie made crab apple jelly. One day, we noticed everyone hurrying toward the bridge. It turns out a woman had jumped, and was drowning. Everyone was gawking. My mother wouldn't let my brother and I go and gawk. She was a class act, mostly.P.S. Did you know that Tom Waits wrote this song that made the Ramones made famous?

I love snippets of memory like that.
You make me wonder what made you remember this moment?
you have quite the treasure trove of photos, Annie. I always enjoy a peek into your past.
Did the lady drown or was she saved?
My 40th is fast approaching and believe me, the name of this post is a question i have been asking myself recently! Great choice by the way, in the top 10 of my favourite songs ever (even if it is a bit close to the truth for my liking).
Hey! Not gettin' older gettin' better.
