50 years ago today I was in social studies class



this cute little "pinch cheek" girl



Became the lovely Mrs. Helen Petteway

 




a good picture of Mom (Ruby) and Dad (Lawrence)--usually Dad never smiled




Who am I related to?  this guy or




this guy??????????

Some pictures of pictures that Helen has on the wall in her home.  The last two pictures--of course the one is brother Dave, my elder brother who in the minds of most people is younger and better looking!  He may be better on the looks side but he is 2 1/2 years older than I and has the wisdom and woodworking skills to prove it.  The other "guy" is also some relative and I am thinking someone needs to do genealogy in our family as we may be entitled to casino money someplace!!!!
The lovely Mrs. Petteway, well my Terry needs to change her mind.  When she spends time with Helen all she can talk about is how gorgeous Helen looks in her wedding pictures and she tends to forget how dazzling she is and how pretty the rest of the women in our family are. 
We have now been back in Naples two full days and things are starting to look kind of in order.  Terry spent much of the day yesterday sorting and putting things away while I spent time cleaning the cage around the pool.  I need to put the 13 foot ladder in the water today and get the high part that is above the pool.  We also have some food in the fridge now and several frozen turkeys tucked away for future use.  Well one of them will be eaten next Thursday and then the others will be enjoyed by company in the weeks ahead.
I just took a sip of FP and the last of it in the bottom of the cup turned my toe nails up so that I could not get my shoes on!
