CONNIE HIGGINS on AUNT ANNE

Aunt Anne was a very generous person to all of her nieces and nephews. She used to take Cami and I home to Farmington with her on Friday nights when she worked downtown at Johnson’s Men’s Store. We would leave the old bus station in downtown Peoria and we would get off the bus in downtown Farmington, stop at Johnny’s Supermarket, pick up a few things and then walk home. She always took us to Kershes Café for dinner. I loved their hot roast beef sandwiches with mashed potatoes and gravy and I would get to finish the meal with a piece of delicious coconut cream pie. We had a lot of fun staying with her and may wonderful memories!
