Grandma White's 1978

Just a few more days until turkey day.
This is my Mom's side of the family at Grandma White's house and I can't tell but it looks like Grandpa Chet is getting ready to pulling the table cloth out from under the dishes.
What a riot!

Time To Start Setting Up

It is time to clean out the garage and set up for Thanksgiving.

Grandma White oversees the food on the table before calling everyone else to come sit down.

I can almost taste her deviled eggs now!

My brother Brett is on the left with Chad back by Grandma.

I am in the center with my cousin Bret wearing his Long John silvers hat.

I love these pictures that are jammed full of life in the past.

What else is in this picture?

The family portrait.

Dad, Mom, Me and Brett in the picture and the addition of Chad tucked in the frame on the side.

Talk about the 70's!

Look how Mom has the draw pulls decorated. Sunflowers!

I think this was in Brett's room.

Beside the flower dresser I see Dads screen.

This is what we used until Al Gore invented the internet to look at our slides.

I see his tripod leaning next to the screen.

The meat grinder.

I think this processed Monroe for us.

A nice glass piece.

Mom had three boys and I dare you to count all the glass sitting around in this picture.

I think she bought it so we would break it and then she would have an excuse to whip us.

Looks like my cousin Bret brought a spare pirate hat in case his was damaged during the day.

We called this the "Jolly Green Giant's toilet paper roll".

Dad was a printer and this was an end roll off a web press.

When we wanted to draw we just yanked on it and took as big a piece as we liked.

This trouble light was also used for a tanning bed.

We would replace the bulb with a tanning bulb and lay in a chair under it.

The trusty binoculars hang here as well.

We Butlers are a rough bunch.

So make sure you grab a Pepsi and not the gas can when getting your beverage.

Looks like a mini Louisville slugger bat is in the white bucket.

The trip to the past is over now so go about life in the present now.
