Halloween

Howdy!

In our pre-house house (can I say "double wide" here?) in Brookings.  This is the door to my room.  Notice the lovely green striped couch in the living room and the "Natalie's Room" plaque on the door and the tree outside the window.  LOVE. 

Always with the coat on

I don't know who or what I was, or where we went to trick-or-treat. But there was candy, so I'm sure it was great.

So happy someone took this pic.

One little corner of Neenaw & Gran's home in Brookings. I loved this place and miss it terribly. It's one of the first places I remember ever being.



The sun!  It burns!

Out on Neenaw and Gran's front steps.

Gran, Dad, BC and me

On a fateful trip to the beach one day... I remember getting wet and cold this trip. Like someone threw us in, or something. Then I remember going home and getting warm in my bunk bed in our teensy trailer down the hill from Neenaw & Gran's - I had the bottom and B.C. had the top. B.C. is wearing his "baker's man" hat.

BC and me on the Big Wheel

Great Grandma Smith

Grandma Smith at Uncle Raymond's house, January 1974. I met Grandma once and don't remember much about it, but we have home movies of us sitting on Neenaw and Gran's couch. She had diabetes and Dad gave her her insulin shots when she visited us in Brookings.

Notice the picture of her two sweet little boys behind her.
