A Memory

I don't remember very much about living in this house except the front porch. I didn't play on the porch as much as under it. I would crawl in from the side and stay there for hours. The dirt was almost like sand and it was very cool in there. I would make mud pies and play with my dolls.

I also remember that Kenny always wore his guns and someone boots, this time he must be wearing Mom's.

Fall Activities

Today Jim and I went apple picking at County Line Orchard in Indiana. We like to go every year to get our apples and a few pumpkins. Going to the orchard is one of my favorite fall activities. It was a very nice day, not to chilly and the sun was beautiful. We spent most of the afternoon walking around and enjoying the crisp fall air. We plan to go again next month.

Vintage Friday

 

Jim and I traveled Illinois Route 66 on Thursday. We covered 93 miles in 7 hours. We found this two cell jail in Gardner. It was in service during the early 1900's. It was mostly used for vagrants.

A memory

I can still remember this day. My mom had a Hawaiian  themed party in our dining room . She had removed all the furniture and put a tablecloth on the floor. Cheyrl and I were wrapped up in fabric (mumus) and we had plastic lais around our necks. Steven and Chuck were there along with Uncle Dick. I know there were a other family members there but I can't remember who. We sat on the floor and ate our party food. It was very exciting.
