Tatuí's souvenirs
Today, in my family get-together, in Tatuí city, I met my cousin Kaoru, who I haven’t met her long time ago.
Kaoru was born there, in the family’s old farm, but when she was 7, she moved to Sao Paulo city, following her parents. Since this time, she has never returned to the old farm, which was sold.
I’ve invited her to go to the old farm with me to check the place, if she recognizes there.
During the way, driving my car, I was talking about my souvenirs about the old farm, when we were children and she was asking me how I can remember detailed things about the life there. The well, the dogs, the black cat, the Mercedes-Benz trucks, the fruit trees. The Jeep of my Grandfather, the stream and the lake. People who have lived there, some ornamental bushes in front of the home.
It was located in a rural town named Enxovia. Anciently, the way didn’t have asphalt. The way until Tatuí’s city hasn’t looked so close. Yes, time’s running so fast!!
Actually, the old farm doesn’t exist anymore. It was incorporated into another farm. We could see just from the road. There, just some trees testifies to our souvenirs. The big Flamboyant tree was in front of the home that doesn’t exist anymore, the Acerola tree and the Persimmon tree was beside the Guava trees. We haven’t seen the lots of Tangerine trees that have existed there.
It’s really good when we can check our memories alive.
In the picture, our get-together (with the families Seo, Horie, Ezura and Toyonaga).
