  • A painting of a small town with several buildings and people dining and playing sports, with written text reading, “When we were young, Lintonville became Regal-named after Mr. Weidner’s new Buick. Buildings stood where now there are none, and new ones built in once-plowed fields.

Oh, how I wanted to live in that enchanted little tent.”
