My mother and I getting our picture taken. My mother sewed most all of my clothes including this dress that I am wearing.
My little brother Dan standing out back of the house near the grapevines. We had a great snow fall this particular year. The year was 1967. I remember that we were out of school for almost a week.


My house that I grew up in . Springfield, Oregon. The address at the time was 1050 Rainbow Dr.

My home that I grew up in. It had a large yard with beautiful flowers that my father planted and took care of. We had fruit trees, a chicken coop and always a large garden..Our home sat at the edge of my grandfathers walnut orchard.

My Amaryllis

Here is my Amaryllis that Carien and Trevell gave to me for Christmas. I planted thinking that it wouldn't grow because I really do not have a green thumb. It took off right away. This is what it looked like the week end that we took off for Darin and Dusty's for Jerseys birhtday. Week end of the 7th of Feb. As you scroll down you will see just how beautiful it turned out. Just gorgeous. blooming in time for Valentines Day...How cool is that? Thanks Carien and Trevell......
