Remember how when you were a kid you had that favorite place to go on Saturday mornings? You'd get up at 8am, eat some cornflakes, jump in the ol' Lumina with Dad in his torn jeans, old t-shirt, and worn sneakers, drive to Chase-Pitkin and wander, look at at your "baby kitchen" (the huge beautiful model kitchen in the back of the store you always got lost searching for), go home, listen to blaring Petra or Whitheart while Dad sang along and did dishes, and went to the Apple Shed in the fall to grab a sample apple and stare at the bees and the goats. Chase-Pitkin closed years ago, replaced by Secor, but the Apple Shed is still alive and kicking.
Last week we stopped by and enjoyed the familiar smells, sights, and sounds.
The sample apple bin that I always had trouble reaching into, the bees, the corn slide (relatively new), and the goats, sheep, ducks, geese, sparrows, and the playground (also relatively new).
The store is bigger than it used to be, they just recently added on a back half, but it's still as beautiful and has the same smells and feel it always has.
