| Rare snow fall in Dallas, TX, Feb 15, 1946. Barb and a neighbor see what snowballs really are. My baby sister, Mary was just a week old when this picture was taken! |

Most of the things children did when I was growing up didn't include having our pictures taken. When a camera was brought out in those days, it was usually for an event.
My 3 year old sister was caught in a sunsuit in our Houston backyard.

Summer of 1953 my cousins from Texas visited us where we'd moved to St. Louis. Whose birthday was it? I have an August birthday, so probably was celebrating my 11th. I imagine we were picnicking in Forest Park. And if you look close you'll see my still favorite box of crackers in the foreground. In a day before plastic grocery bags, we carried things in paper bags, and that great cake carrier on the lower right corner.
As an adult I made sure my Floridian sons learned some engineering techniques for sand castles. Here Russ and Tai are at work on Cumberland Island, GA on one of our vacations.
Barb making sure the next generation knows how she makes sand castles. Grandson William is hard at work, while Cayenne (on right) may have been tasting the seashells.
Hope you have a great day today!
