The day after

Day 44, "Every picture has a story"

The year was 1972 and we were camping for 6 weeks in Lincoln NB as I went to summer school.  We had Grandpa Saunders' pickup and camper but we slept in our tent the entire time.  Gail took Travis, here, and John to the Y for swimming lessons as I went to school.  On our way down to NB we stopped to visit Aunt Helen at the Air Force Academy in CO and then on the way home we stopped to visit friend Larry in Iowa.  Also stopped to see Allen Saunders and his wife Jeanne who just had a baby, Lisa.  A side note to the summer is we rented our home in Devils Lake to a lady who was in town just for the summer.  I do not remember the details but I do remember she rented our home and for some reason we never did meet her!  Do not wonder how we worked the details but we did.  In the picture Travis seems happy to be in the portable crib we had with us!  It was a summer full of memories.  The last nights we were in the camp site, before we left, the campgrounds was taken over by gypsies who flooded the bathroom and had snakes in their sites.  Finally they were told to leave and the next day in the paper there was a story about them where there had been a fight and some guy had his ear cut off!  Fun, right???

Terry and I had a good Thanksgiving yesterday.  We had the Dominos over in the afternoon and then in the evening we went to friends who have a new home near here.  They have done very well for themselves and their home is very lovely  to put it in a mild way!  "For sure" we ate too much but it was a fun day but now we are on to the real holiday, Christmas.

I did finish my FP before my 9:00 tennis match so that is history and now it is on to finish a bit of work.
