Pa and Ma

Several years ago there was a photo booth at the mall that would alter your picture to make it
look like a pencil drawing. This was made in 1990.
L. has lost the beard and several pounds. I have acquired a bunch  of wrinkles.

29th Anniversary

Thirty-two years ago last August. Doing the math - 61 years married.

 

On my folks' anniversary my dad always said, using whatever year it was, "Twenty-two years

with the WRONG woman." Mom always laughed.

They had thirty-six years together.

Coat

One of my crochet creations. Not practical but it took a whole lot of yarn and helped the Yarn Yard shop pay its bills in 1968.

The Photo Booth

Five of these poses were at the same "sitting."  The white fur coat was at an earlier time. What was with the finger on the cheek bit? I don't know which I liked the most; the fur coat or the cape like nurses wore. That was the job I wanted until high school when I almost flunked chemistry and decided that was not my calling.

Kazoo Kitchen Band

Friends of my mom who had a kazoo band with items from the kitchen and lots of plastic spoons. Sometime in the early'40's.

Cadwell Black Smith Shop and a Team

My memory is that this was in Haven, KS. I'm not sure about that! My Grandmother Wright's maiden
name was Cadwell so I think this must have belonged to some of her relatives.

Another Portrait of the Brown Brothers

This is the only other studio portrait I have of my dad and his brother. Dad, Dewey, is on the right and Lee is on the left. There is no date on the back but I would guess their ages to be about eighteen and sixteen.
