    Those were the days my friend! Such wonderful memories!
    Thanks for sharing these special times with us.
    Thinking of you all as we prepare to take our sailboat Lioness out and away from the dock after 13 months.
    Will be in touch when we get home Aug. 29.
    Until then, hope you have many happy days and get to enjoy the sunshine!
    Love, Gail and Marty

    Swinging – WEEE!
    But are you a jumper and could you jump farther than most?

    Love seeing my cousins, aunt and uncle before I was born. (Sorry, but I am younger!) Is the Frontier Days beard Uncle Soland is sporting the only time he ever had visible facial hair?

    Best, Honey

    I love the use of the ironing board to support the microscope.

    Thanks for sharing!
