Rainy Christmas morning, shared memories with Dad at the breakfast table …
1953, my sister Midge’s last Christmas…
1954… brother Dean arrived on the scene…
1956 in Kingston, Ontario… Nana in the foreground (I’m still in Mom, about 3 months along)
1959… I’m on the scene, 18 months old, in our house on Old Spring Road in Kensington, MD
Probably 1960… brother Dean and I show off our snowman
Christmas dinner in Everett, 1966
And our last family home in University Place (Tacoma), 1969
Christmas 1971… and man, was it the 70s!
1973… Dad surprised Mom with the diamond wedding ring she never had, the ring I wear today
Gathered round on a Christmas Day, 1985
Maddie had so much fun hunting a Christmas tree with Nana and Papa, circa 1991
