Some more "The Way I Remember It"

56º degrees here in Clarinda, IA at 9:15 am Wednesday as I start this.

Will put a few more old photos I have discovered:
The shirts the kids hate - we got them on our trip to Hawaii in 1975 or 76

1978 Farm Sale of Dad-Roger.  Dad's funeral was the following day

1978 Farm Sale - son Cameron in one of the tractors and brother Darrell looking at the Ford Tractor

The kids had sheep for many years

Start of a model railroad table (that never got finished)

Wonder what was so funny?



Cam & Michelle one Christmas

On our 1977 trip to Tampa, FL.  Think this might be near Pensacola, FL

We had bought this 1977 Oldsmobile Wagon less than a month before this trip


Wow, look at the Duck!
All below are from a 1976 trip across Lake Michigan to visit brother Don in Grand Rapids, MI

On way back we stopped near Chicago at Uncle Bud - Alice Miles place.

Brother Don's daughter Jenny with Michelle & Cameron

On the Ferry across Lake Michigan - trying to earn back the cost of the ferry  -- didn't.

We ate in the dining room on the ship.


They really sell truck tires in Michigan!!!!

Cam & Michelle - the ferry we crossed Lake Michigan is in the background
