Merry Christmas 1967!

It's been a very long time since my last installment of picture torture. That edition ended with the beginning (6:10-6:18 am) of our Christmas, 1967, festivities. Now, at last!, we get to see the next ten minutes of the fun!

Next, we enjoy a visit with Nene, Jackie, Dan and Steve. There are 41 pictures of us sitting on the couch and a child's folding chair. Well, a few at the end are of us standing in a line and looking (blurrily) at the camera. Not a lot is going on here.

We find out that the fruit trees in the back yard were planted in the Spring of 1968.

We celebrate all the May events, birthdays and Mother's Day, on May 12. We waited till 7:00 to dig into our festively wrapped presents. Poss got some luggage. There was luggage at Christmas, too. Was some message being sent? Whose writing is on the big box (our misspelled last name)? I thought it was Jack's but he wouldn't spell his own name wrong, would he? There's the nice touch of having our artificial Christmas tree set up (but not decorated).

Why do Karen and Grandma get presents? I suppose it would have been rude to leave them out but they got more in November (and I didn't). It looks like Peggy wasn't left out, either. There's her typewriter with the marshmallow keys.

Peggy gets dressed up to graduate from high school.

Grandma gets presents because you were celebrating mothers day.

And it was my "half birthday." Oh, brother. Can you say "S-P-O-I-L-E-D"?

Did you figure out what was in that Eustler box? Maybe that would give a clue as to who wrote it;.

Thanks for posting all those memories, Chuckbert!

If you click through the pictures of sitting on the couch with the Millers, it looks sorta like a time-lapse movie!

Love Karen's gangsta necklace. She was way ahead of her time!
