When we were driving up Comistas Court, there were two families walking with small children. We had to slow down because Comistas Court is a very narrow street. As we cautiously drove past, I looked over at one of the families. The mom looked eerily familiar. We passed and got to the cul-de-sac part of the street where our house was, parked and got out to look at the house. As the woman got closer, I had to say something. I asked her if she lived on the street, and she said no, but her parents did. I told her I used to live in the house we were standing in front of. I asked, "Are you Lisa Lockwood?" and she asked, "Are you Shannon Livingstone?" and we both sorta freaked out.
There were a few girls on our street - my sister Amy and I, Lisa Lockwood, Amy Corrigan, and Amanda Baak. Lisa and my sister were the same age, Amy C. was a year younger, and Amanda and I were the same age. We all played together all the time, went on trips with each other's families, etc. It was a total trip to see her. It turns out her parents do still live at the top of the hill, her 97 year old grandpa still lives next door to her parents, and her sister still lives next to our old house. She lives nearby in Walnut Creek.
Myself, Lisa and Amy playing dress up. I'm the one holding Shawdow, our black cat.
Lisa and I today.

Hey, Shannon--what a great trip down memory lane. I used to love our trips to Muir Woods and Stinson Beach and Fentons and all those great places. We really did live in an amazing place, didn't we?? Glad you got to relive it--and how cool to see Lisa while you were there. I assume she is married and with a child--children?? We'll have to go again sometime when we can all go and relive that great place together! ! xoxoxo MOM
You've come a long way!!! I like the bonnet.
