Hace unos días me causo algo de tristeza saber que nuestro amigo
@ericvancewalton publicó un post donde nos anunciaba que la rutina que más me gustaba cada lunes llegaba a su fin Memoir Monday #52 FINAL PROMPT (3/3-3/9) - Describe a Typical Summer Day When You Were Ten Years Old.
Cada lunes era costumbre pasarme por los pasillos de #SilverBloggers para enterarme que se le habia ocurrido esa semana a nuestro amigo. Era emocionante para mi tener un tema de que hablar para darme a conocer, desahogarme o conocer a otros que como yo, le gustaba participar en esta iniciativa.
Entonces me puse a pensar que por algunos motivos deje pasar algunos temas, siempre con la esperanza de que en algún momento los iba a buscar para escribir sobre ellos.
Pues hoy es el mejor día para ir a buscarlos y tenerlos en un solo lugar para que así no se me pase ninguno y por si alguno de mis compañeros quiere hacer lo mismo que yo, puede venir a este post y buscar más rápido. Solicito el permiso de Eric para poder replicar en mi post esta información, espero que no le moleste.
Por ahora los coloque desde la iniciativa número uno hasta la 30 y hoy quiero empezar por la primera.
¿A qué tienda te encantaba ir cuando eras niño?
Y aquí va mi respuesta:
Desde que recuerdo mi Tía Lilia tenía la única bodega mejor surtida de la comunidad donde vivíamos. Era costumbre ir allí cada vez que salíamos a misa los domingos o los días después de clase para tomarnos un helado.
Mi tía era muy cariñosa y aunque no tenía una muy buena relación con mi padre nunca nos trató mal.
Para mi padre era costumbre mandarnos los viernes a comprar la yuca para toda la semana, comprábamos bastante ya que era muy buena, así decía.
Los días viernes mí tía iba a la ciudad y traía los mejores productos para la comunidad, es por eso que mi papá nos enviaba bien temprano antes que se acabara lo mejor.
Otro de los días que me gustaba ir a la bodega de mi tía era los domingos después de misa, porque mi mama compraba helados para todos, si les digo la verdad, eran los mejores helados del mundo.
¡Ah! Pero no crean que era un súper abasto o supermercado, era una bodega sencilla hecha con muebles de madera altos pegados a la pared de color azul.
La bodega o tienda era atendida por mi tía o su esposo, el señor Luis, un hombre de sombrero, con camisa elegante, muy educado y cariñoso.
Recuerdo que cuando iba ya de grande me gustaba entablar largas conversaciones con él, en verdad me gustaba y por eso cuando supe de su fallecimiento me causo tristeza.
Hoy en día ya ese lugar no existe, solo quedan los bonitos recuerdos que alimentan mi alma y me hacen muy feliz.
Bien, esta fue mi respuesta y mi sincera despedida de agradecimiento a Erick, le deseo mucha suerte en todo lo que haga, que sean muchos años más juntos aquí en Hive y si algún día quiere iniciar otra actividad, sea la que sea de seguro allí estaré atenta para participar. Gracias Eric me gustó lo que hiciste aquí con nosotros, vuelve pronto.
A few days ago I was a little sad to know that our friend
@ericvancewalton published a post announcing that my favorite Monday routine was coming to an end Memoir Monday #52 FINAL PROMPT (3/3-3/9) - Describe a Typical Summer Day When You Were Ten Years Old.
Every Monday it was customary for me to stop by the #SilverBloggers aisles to find out what our friend had come up with that week. It was exciting for me to have a topic to talk about to make myself known, to vent or to meet others like me who liked to participate in this initiative.
Then I started to think that for some reasons I let some topics pass, always with the hope that at some point I would look for them to write about them.
Today is the best day to look for them and have them in one place so that I do not miss any of them and if any of my colleagues want to do the same as me, they can come to this post and search faster. I request Eric's permission to replicate this information in my post, I hope he doesn't mind.
For now I put them from initiative number one to 30 and today I want to start with the first one.
What store did you love to go to when you were a kid?
And here is my answer:
For as long as I can remember my Aunt Lilia had the only well-stocked bodega in the community where we lived. It was customary to go there every time we left for mass on Sundays or after school to have an ice cream.
My aunt was very affectionate and although she did not have a very good relationship with my father she never treated us badly.
For my father it was customary to send us on Fridays to buy yucca for the whole week, we bought enough because it was very good, so he said.
On Fridays my aunt would go to the city and bring the best products for the community, that is why my father would send us early in the morning before the best was gone.
Another day I liked to go to my aunt's bodega was Sundays after mass, because my mom would buy ice cream for everyone, and to tell you the truth, it was the best ice cream in the world.
Ah, but don't think it was a supermarket or supermarket, it was a simple bodega made with tall wooden furniture attached to the blue wall.
The bodega or store was run by my aunt or her husband, Mr. Luis, a man in a hat, with an elegant shirt, very polite and affectionate.
I remember that when I was growing up I liked to have long conversations with him, I really liked him and that is why when I heard of his death I was saddened.
Today that place no longer exists, there are only the beautiful memories that feed my soul and make me very happy.
Well, this was my answer and my sincere farewell of thanks to Erick, I wish him good luck in everything he does, may it be many more years together here in Hive and if someday he wants to start another activity, whatever it is for sure I will be there to participate. Thanks Eric I liked what you did here with us, come back soon.
