i tried…off and on through the day to get some link to the article…1988  Ann Arbor district library…Grand Opening,  Falling Water Books,  Ashley St.   The whole pic shows the house we made  into a bookstore.    Sometimes the link worked,  more often it didn't which just added to the Why of it….Why do i have to go  back to here?

I have nothing in my mind for     dates   .   I have    uhhhh,    periods of time. Illustrated, defined,  identified by those Slide Shows in my mind…  ie  here,  i know that Alyssia was born almost simultaneously with this bookstore.  1988.    I took her with me there,  in her baby carrier….we called it her showcase.   That's Kay on the left.  next is me.   The four of us were the part owners.   According to this article,  the Grand Opening was June,  1988.   Alyssia was born in July.   Before the end of a year,  i was     

gone.        

Why?.   i ask.  Why do we come back here?     Because  it's Raw is the answer….and it is.

There were hollyhocks,  just like these  that have volunteered here on this Hill…around that house on Ashley St.  We were careful when paintng it to not disturb them.   i took the pic of these   a couple days ago…should have known something was       up.  

so i have two days…according to the article….the date of the grand opening….and then….Stuff will move on.   I either accept

or lose 

my chance.
