Good call Brett! Salt dough ornaments were the popular thing to do then. You guys did humor me - doing all kinds of craft projects and helping move furniture. You didn't know that I was training you all to be great husbands then, did you? I would say the wall in the kitchen came down about 4 years ('78) after we built in 1974. I remember I had only papered the wall a few weeks before Dad took it out. I came home from the Calico Frog one Saturday and he had started cutting the half wall out with a hammer and chisel. It took him a while - but he got 'er done. Did you notice the stickers on the door on that wall. "Dead Animals". That sticker from Lilly's -- somewhere where the lab animals were thrown out, I guess. The room behind the wall was an easy catch-all - having a door to close. I think that is why we decided to take the wall down - it was too easy to throw things in there and shut the door. Out of sight out of mind. -- The extra room served a lot of different rolls before the wall came out.~ mom
Looks like we are in the kitchen making cookies or playing with Mom's homemade playdough.
My guess is we're making Christmas ornaments, not cookies.
