Liz and Tim in a rare moment of harmony. Labor Day Weekend 1970.
Mom and Dad took us to stay at Arlene’s cabin up at Pelican Lake. It was chilly and too cold to swim much but we still had our tans and sun-bleached hair.
The neighbors had a lamb named Penny who ran the beach. She was adorable — and hard to catch! But we finally did and Dad snapped a pic.
The original is b&w but I remember exactly what we were wearing. Mom confirmed. 🙂

4 years agoMom had two friends that we saw only occasionally: Marian and Arlene.
One day I asked her when Marian became Arlene and Arlene became Marian.
She almost fell out of her chair laughing.
Then, in tears, explained that Marian had always been Marian and Arlene had always been Arlene.
Didn’t buy it then; not sure I buy it now.

4 years agoThis picture is priceless!!! My very best friend when I was growing up, her name is Sharon. She moved to our school district in 3rd grade. We instantly became best friends! She and I also had the white blonde hair like you and your brother. When we got into high school she was in FFA. Every year she would get a baby lamb and when it was a grown sheep 🐑 she’d show it at the fair. This reminds me of her. I love it!!!

4 years ago@Abigail Brown this one was especially hard! All those grasses, for one thing, and it took a while to replicate the colors I had in mind.

4 years ago@Tee H I agree! In fact my mom used to “break” our tv at the beginning of every summer. We were in the lake all day and reading all night. Childhood summers are the best 🙂💖

4 years ago@Fénix it’s really fun to talk them over with mom. I get some backstory and I also find out that some of my memories don’t match reality. I’ll say, “remember when we always used to do x?” And mom will say, “we did it twice.” 😂

4 years ago@Glitterspray Way to go Mom!! We were simply forbidden from watching it during the day. With 4 siblings someone was always willing to tattle or blackmail anyone else who broke the rules 😂😂 Hey, what else are brothers and sisters for?
