Random things I am missing day # 1



I have been thinking of some random things that I miss.....
they have no rhyme or reason,
but I will share them each day for a week....starting with:

Being young and dirt poor and so happy to have money for milk.

Doug quit the fire department to try and make a go of the Auto shop.

We had 3 or 4 kids and were pulling in about $250. a month.

Could not have made it without LouJean and John buying groceries.

But we were happy and in love.

And speaking of the fire department, I miss:



Visiting Doug and Kay and the "Duffer" at the Eden Fire House.

The "Duffer" was famous for his pickled eggs in the fridge.

Look who is the "Duffer" now......ohhhh.

I miss:


Staying up all night making Easter Dresses for Holly, Robin, and Nikki.

again....


.....And agian....... plus Mac plus Carly...



And again......

I seriously would not have the energy to stay up all night.....

or the patience it takes to sew....I have moved on.

And lastly tonight.... I am missing......


Neighborhood "Halloween Parties" at the little red house.....

and missing "wanting to go".

Got there in the back of a truck,..

this is the "last" costume party I ever got Doug to....

and the last time he wore a dyed green nylon stocking over his head.

Stay tuned>>>>

Oh, and does this mean I will get tired of sewing someday too? Probably...
