2025 Sunday Stills: Windows – What Stories Lie Behind

“Every window tells a different story”.

If only I could hear some of the stories these windows could tell. I wish I could remember what it was like to gaze out these windows and watch the comings and goings of friends and family.

The above home is the first place I ever lived. If only I could know the stories those windows would tell if times long ago.

2912 1/2 ‘E’ Street
San Diego, California

“Bless those who see life through a different window and those who understand their view.”
— Unknown author

Through every Window in every home tells a chapter in the story of my journey through life.

The above home is the second home I lived in from the time I was two until the summer before I started kindergarten. That summer we moved to the home shown below. I loved looking through the windows and knew that excitement and adventure was awaiting me on the outside.

228 S. Meadowbrook Drive
San Diego, California

“The window is where curiosities meet. Insiders are curious about the outside, and outsiders are curious about the inside”.
— Author Unknown

Peeking through the curtains, watching and waiting with anticipation … wondering who will be dropping by … curiosity beckons me to the window.

6441 Birchwood Street
San Diego, California

“Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.”

— George Bernard Shaw

Grace Church San Diego
Formerly Known as Scott Memorial Baptist Church
4637 Oregon Street
San Diego, CA 92116

The many Windows in the church could tell a vast array of stories regarding the comings and goings of all who consider this like home and all its inhabitants like family. This church was almost like a second home spending every Sunday morning and evening, and every Wednesday night as well. Sometimes the rest of the week as well, in my youth many a day was spent with friends playing, connecting, conversing with each other like we couldn’t wait to hear the stories we knew these windows were hearing.

2025 OWS: 21(on 22) September

Empty Picnic Site

The Vallecito Stage Station in Julian, California was rebuilt and is a part of the Vallecito County Park operated by the San Diego County Parks. The Vallecito Stage Station was one of the Home Stations along The Butterfield Overland Mail route which carried mail from San Antonio, Texas to San Diego, California beginning in 1857. Passengers on the Stage Coaches ate a good meal once every twenty-four (24) hours at what were called “Home Stations.” Vallecito was one of the “Home Stations” that provided good meals to the Butterfield-Overland travelers from produce and meat supplied by farmers on Mt. Palomar.

Vallecito has been preserved as a 71-acre county park built around a reconstruction of the historic Butterfield Stage Station. Vallecito has been a campsite for literally hundreds of years, beginning first with the native Kumeyaay Indians. This area is part of what is known as the Anza-Borego Desert.

When I was growing up my church youth group would come out here almost every year for camping and hiking. The campground area is primitive and you must bring in your own water supplies as wet as any other supplies you might need.
