It feels like so long since I’ve taken a nice morning walk – but I did today. Cool and sunny, and it felt refreshing.
Work was not super busy, so I was home in good time. Nate was painting the trim on the shed, then taped up the shutters and started the first coat. I sat on the deck in the sun and went through a bunch more boxes of photos. So many duplicates! It’s sad that there is no one to share them with. I had piles for 3 Skunk Hollow families, my cousin Deb, Byron, Kath, and then me. Plus the really old photos. Found this cute picture of Nate playing the drums. Priceless!
As promised, here are a few photos from the other events of the weekend. First, Autmn’s first Steeler game. I know they lost, but the three of them still had a great time! There’s something about that first game at the stadium…
Mary sent me the photos from Friday. The presentation went really well, and those that attended had a great time. They were very interested in the details, and asked some interesting questions. Seemed that everyone enjoyed looking at the books and letters and photos. I even sold a book – Gery said he would read it then donate it to the Senior library! Double win! I think we all had a really nice hour.
Copies of the letters
A quote from the book: April 2nd. Tell about a practical joke or prank someone played on you. “Uncle Edd had a wooden snake. He would hide it where he knew I would see it & think it was a real snake. I would always yell & sometimes throw the snake as far as I could when I knew it wasn’t a real snake.”
