Bill, when little, had those yellow pj's with the feet in them, Ma bought him this florescent orange bow tie, it would almost glow in the dark, it had a black elastic strap to hold it around his neck, well, he loved that bow tie so much, he would wear it every morning with his pj's on!! It was so funny; I remember ma&dad & me laughing so hard at it. Barb

Subject: Re: morningI am amazed, between all this e-mailing, you managed to get dressed, how do you do it?? LOL!!! I remember in Weymouth, I ran outside to get my bathing suit off the line, and Bill, thinking he was going to be a hero, told on me, I guess he thought he was, and said to Ma; “Barby went outside with her BARE FEET ON!!” He must have thought that was going to get me in trouble!!! Ma and I just laughed

One of the things I remember, I had another cat, It was angora, long fur, I loved it so much, I named it Beautiful, can you imagine me calling it, “here Beautiful”, anyway, it caught something and Dad called the MANGE. It got big patches of balding all over its body, big BALD spots, Dad used to laugh because I named it beautiful!!! Reminds me of YOUR cat named RIBBON BALL!!! LOL

LOL.. first, had to post my website :-)

I remember when I was little, and pa would work in his "shop" building things.. I had fun watching him. I use to go to the railroad track, with pennies. I would sit and wait for a train. I think Doug was with me. we would get so excited when a train came... it would squish the pennies flat. I would run back to the camp, to see Pa. He would drill a whole in it, and I would make a necklace. I thought it was beautiful. I saved my necklace for years. I can't find them... but I hope someday I do... it was fun hanging around Pa...

Another memory... boy, you got me thinking!!! Remember the old graveyard? remember when we were all walking thru there? it was so scary back then....

Remember sitting on the porch at the camp, and no matter how slow someone drove by nana would yell "slow down!"

LOL... I went thru nana's jewelry box today... I laugh every time... her costume jewelry she use to wear when they played cards... all those rings. She told me how her and the girls would go to Ames to buy all this crazy jewelry... so their hands would look pretty when they played cards... I did find a silver necklace, from Avon.. I hung it in my new car, which is silver... I think she would have liked that :-)

Love seeing the pictures... they are so neat to look at. okay... who remembers "Monkey Charlie"... and whatever happened to him, and how did nana get him? Of course, for those who don't know him, he was a stuffed animal... everyone loved charlie.... Everytime I see a monkey, I think of those times at the camp... all the kids would be playing with Charlie...

Kim, That monkey charlie was loved too much! Don't know where he ended up but I do know he had no ears left, and he was quite worn, by so much love over the years of course.
