Swimming 1973

My cousin Sherri and I in the middle of the shot.

We are at Longacre Pool again.

I have no when or where it was taken though.

Thanksgiving 2009

Hang on to your hat!
This will be a whirl wind trip of our Thanksgiving weekend.

Megan and Elaine prepare our diner.

They cook while we snack on the goodies on the table.
Levi is looking at our favorite book about thanksgiving which tells about the Pilgrims journey to America.
I don't remember the name of it right now.

The boys went deer hunting that morning and then picked up Hope.

Scooby is waiting for one of us to be sympathetic and throw him something to eat.

The girls were doing MacGyver cooking since our stove is out.
So Megan made brown and serve rolls in the toaster oven.

Elaine made the turkey in the crock pot! It was delicious!

My family getting ready for prayer.

My family always smile when we pray.

Friday we went to Elaine's parents for Thanksgiving but I forgot the camera.
So just imagine food, fun and family here.


I remembered the camera Saturday when we went to my parents house.

Dad loads up a plate full along with Joel and Kye.

Most of the gang chowing down.

Each of us told what we were thankful for and lingered at the table swapping stories.

Brett's son, Kye, brought The Beatles Rock Band to play.

The gang rocking out.

Two part harmonies.

Levi, Hope and Joel getting down.

Even Elaine grabbed a mike.
Brett's family was kind enough to let us play a lot that night but they all still sang along.


While some rocked out others played Sequence.

That's cousin Sherri on the left. (See is in the rear-view mirror with us)

While playing the game I noticed Monroe over in the corner.

I took a moment to pose with this very photogenic deer.


Mom says we have the same smile.

This reminded me to ask to see our pet bird Budgie.

So like any normal family would we went in to the kitchen while Mom got Budgie out of the freezer.


Budgie died during the blizzard of 78 and has remained in the freezer ever since.

Good bird!




Mom got the salt and pepper shakers out for her biannual cooking event.
Seen before HERE

Brett's wife, Tracy, decided it was time to Rock and roll on out.


The cousins club posed for a picture before departing.

So did me and my little brothers.


A pose with the parents.

I hope you all had as nice a Thanksgiving as I did.

On a wagon somewhere.
I don't know where we are for sure but my guess is Kentucky.
I remember taking pictures on that trip and I noticed that Sherri has her camera on.

Man hers was fancy, it has a spot for a flash bulb built right into the front of the camera.
Can anyone make out what her shirt says?

Front Porch

On the front porch at 1451 Lexington.
I am playing cards with Steve and Sherri is watching.

Rhonda peers into the camera and Steve looks happy in the background.
Maybe we are playing Old Maid.

Game must be heating up.
Normally we played in the back yard so it must have been sprinkling.
We were not allowed off the porch.
I see Chad and Brett joined the fun.

Wow, must have been an exciting ending to the game or they are all yelling that I am an Old Maid.

Halloween

I wish I would have found this last week.
Halloween 1973.
Brett the pirate (with the belt)
Sherri the devil
Chad the obscene clown
and I am the scarecrow

I think I won a prize at school for my costume,
Thanks Mom.

Shari

This is cousin Shari in August 1974.

I remembered that she has a birthday this month, so happy birthday Shari.
