Looking for pictures of my Aunt Peewee this week, I found one with my cousins, Roxanne and Jamie. I stared at the house in the background. I was always happy for Aunt Peewee when they got a new house, but I loved the old one.
I will never forget the sound and feel of her screen door slamming. Running barefoot in the yard around her house. The feel of the sand—Hawthorne dirt just feels different. The feel of the sand on the yellow kitchen linoleum from everyone in and out. As a picky kid, Aunt Peewee was always willing to fry me a piece of bologna with just the right amount of burnt. As an adult when I got my own house, I was so excited to have a little shelf above my sink just like Aunt Peewee’s to put little trinkets.
There are lines from several songs that have always taken me back to Aunt Peewee’s old house and make me smile whenever I hear them.
Dirt Road Anthem by Jason Aldean:
“Yeah I'm chillin' on a dirt road….
……Memory lane up in the headlights
It's got me reminiscin' on them good times.”
Our Song by Taylor Swift:
“… Our song is the slamming screen door. ”
The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert:
“I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here, it's like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could just come in, I swear I'll leave
Won't take nothin' but a memory
From the house that built me”
The first two are pretty self explanatory, screen doors and dirt roads are good times.
The House that Built Me….no I didn’t live in that house. But that house and the people in it built some great memories for me. No one can ever take the memories we built and that we share.
