Day 173, "Every picture has a story"
Maybe the story here is Aaron and his early girl friends!  No, not really.  The girls are Carolyn in the front and she lived across the street.  The other two are Becker girls who lived down the street and over one block.  
The wagon, it was our stroller for the 3 boys.  From the time John was born in Devils Lake to when Aaron was born in August of 1973 that was what we used for a stroller.  I know, we may have been a bit different!  We really did not get a real stroller until Cynthia was born in 1980.  It was a small fold up one that we called engine #88 because the boys would run as fast as they could while they pushed her.  Sadly, we left it, by mistake, at Devils Tower in WY in 1982.  The year we went on vacation to the Black Hills but our car was not up to a trip so Ed C offered to have us use his!  Maybe we live in a different world today?
The yard, well as one can see there is still some of the picket fence up.  It was all around the front yard when we moved to Niles Ave in 1977.  Then as the boys upped their soccer kicks which resulted in broken pickets all over it was removed.  There also was a hedge along the front sidewalk where the wagon is sitting.  That was taken out maybe in 1978.

No tennis again today so this old body may be able to heal totally!  Terry has an appt at 12:30 and that is it for the day.  House projects---maybe some today.  I did get a new switch for the living room light.  BUT now I need to go back to Home Depot as I forgot to get one with a dimmer on it.  I was about to bow to expertise and the bank and call an electrician but presto the new switch that I purchased worked.   Darn that old Wood Lake School.  The teachers never taught me how to spell so I am always looking up the correct spelling on the computer.  I might add that I do fail sometimes!  I know I am admitting my weakness but here I could not get the correct spelling of "electrician" so I had to google "a person who works with electricity" and it came up.  What can I say.  A person has to do what you have to do, right?

Breakfast consisted of 2 eggs, 2 pork links and a dab of hash browns and of course I needed FP to wash it down.  Good start to the day.
