 Easter 1965

I love that little tent.  Did we have that blow-up bunny for a while,

or am I thinking of a different one? 

I think it was blue...

What a good looking family.  Mom, I love the lace around your collar and your sleeves. 

So pretty!  I would love to wear that now. 

Can you see the tiny peach tree?

Handsome Mark at 3 1/2.  Don't you love that vest?

1st Birthday

Stacey enjoying her birthday frosting.  Yum!

I love the chenille pom poms on the curtains.  What color were they?

I don't have a date for this, but this shot is Stacey taking some of her first steps.  Yay!  

You have that table in your bedroom now, right Mom and Dad?

Grandpa and Grandma with Stacey. 

I swear Grandma looked just like that in her 90s! 

A happy mom with her happy kids.

Merry Christmas!

That tree is awesome.

Someday I will have better Photoshop skills and I will get rid of things like those scratches. 

Sorry.

Note the big blue bottle in the background!

Dear Jerry, Carlene, and Family-

     Hi, it sure seems good, good to write to you.  I sure think of you a lot and all the help and friendship you have given both me and my family.  We love you.  This is a picture of our district taken in a small park.  They have these parks about every other block.  That's Adam in the background.  Merry Christmas to you and Happy New Year.  I sure miss you and especially Mark.  See you soon and thanks again for all.

      -Skip

Mom and Dad, I know you've told me who Skip is before, but I can't remember.  Can you give us the details?
