MORE CUTE KIDDOS!!!! grammy's back yard

Now let's look at some cute kiddos. Elliott 61/2 Matt 5, Leslie almost 4 and Steph 2.
Taken in 1981 in my front yard. All ready for church. Now they are parents. Where did the time go????

1967- new car!

We lived in Villa Park, which was a rural area at the time. We had this old barn in the back yard where the boys used to play. Dan practiced his drums out there and we had a barn dance for Bob's 17th birthday. Our house was build in 1905 and was a craftsman style. Sears used to sell a kit house for 500.00 dollars and this is what our house was. The Holditches , an old Villa Park family had it built for their first home after they were married.

In 1975 Grampy bought the 1967 jag for ?? but it wasn't much compared to cars today. Bob was driving the old blue chevy station wagon and still trying to fix up the old white ford that he had purchased from a friends father. It didn't run but he finally got it running and then David could drive the blue chevy until he bought a car and then it was Dan's turn. That old chevy had twohundred and fifty thousand miles plus on it when it finally died.

The little jag was a pretty car and the boys took it to the proms. It was special to all of us.

Dan

Pictures of Dan when he was in high school. Notice the railroad tracks across the street. The houses across the street were brand new. Before that there were orange groves and we were really in the country. It has all changed so much. Love his taped up guitar!Some of you have never seen him without a moustache.

Grandpa Milo Potter and the 3 boys in front of the house at 4509 E Ocean Blvd in Long Beach. Grandpa built the rock wall around the front yard. The house is no longer there and there are 2 three story apartments on the property. It is sad because there was so much of grandpa's hand work with rock and tile. He was quite a worker and very proud of his home. Here he was dressed to go a performance of a Barber Shop Quartet that he sang in. There are lots of good memories of Grandpa.

exciting news!

A fun day at Disneyland

Can you believe Disneyland with ever so few people? We surprised the boys and went here on David's 5th birthday. They were so excited when we drove into the parking lot that I thought the top would come right off of the car. It was a surprise and they did not know where we were going. What a fun day!!!
