Christmas 1976

CAUGHT

Here we are celebrating Christmas up at Neenaw and Gran's. Gran looks like a jungle cat peeking behind that plant. Mom (prego with Jeremy) and Ernie are on the right, along with someone's hands - maybe Grandma Keithler?

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

Ernie on the left, me in the middle, B.C.'s back and arm on the right.  I love the old-fashioned ornaments on the tree.

Brookings House

This was the year we (I say "we" like I actually helped) built that wonderful house in Brookings.

Daylight basement all framed, Subflooring started, B.C. on top

 I still miss living in this house and Brookings something fierce.  Every once in a while I check to see if the house is up for sale (like we could afford it now). 

First Grade

Mrs. Wilson was my teacher at Kalmiopsis Elementary.  She took us to her house once and let us ride her horses.
