Finished: Carvel Daze (Garcia) A lovely memoir by my sweet cousin Bobby's best friend, about the neighborhood they grew up in on Carvel Lane in Sharpstown in Houston, Texas. We have our own family memories from spending time with our cousins on Carvel Lane, but we didn't live in the neighborhood. Reading about the familiar locations, though, like Bayland Park, where we spent many a day watching baseball games, brought back so many childhood memories. :-) I'm pretty sure that my cousin Bill, Bobby's older brother, was on the Tigers? When Chris mentions making the Indians baseball team, it brought back a memory of his brother David being an Indian! Bill, David and I were all very close in age, and Bobby and Chris were the little brothers, at least to me. Thanks for sharing your childhood memories, Chris, and for letting me know more about your family. And, thank you for being Bobby's best friend. "He was the first person I talked to when we moved here, and I was the last person he talked to when he left here."
