1958, I think this was in the house that burned.  I have on a dress that Mom had taken me to Dayton to get for the school year.  That also is when we got my coat with the pom-pom ties.  I was too neat and hung it in my closet.  Everything was burned on one side as they hung in the closet.  The closet was near the chimney that caught fire. 

In 1961, this looks like a bunch of little geniuses at work.  Not sure at what!  It must have been on a Sunday after church.  Vickie and Martha look all dressed up.

Some Bobby pictures for Joseph – many more to follow

Here’s a picture of Bobby and Gary in front of Pat and Bessie Miracle’s house on Superior St in Wrightview Hts, Ohio.  Their house was across the street from the Holten properties. 
Of course Pat and Bessie had a nicer and bigger house.  They had no kids and always seemed to want to adopt Bobby.
Oops! Have to go find a picture of Pat & Bessie and some dates, etc.
More later.
I just have time to put this one more picture.  Will put more later.  I have to go back and write birthdays and dates down for all of us so I can get the dates right on some of these memories, posts and pictures.

Dad, Bobby, Mom and Gary with Bessie Miracle in Bessie and Pat’s house around 1957.  Not sure about date.  Pat and Bessie loved their two little dogs. I think they were Pekingese.  I think this was at the house across from Sarah Childers IGA store.  We lived beside them up there as well as across the street down on Superior.  Not sure what this street name was.

Christmas 1958 or 59

I recall one Christmas Eve night-  I of course was sleeping in the same room as Myrtle.  We were living in the Linkhart house with sooo many rooms and the winding staircase and the two seater outhouse.  (This was also where Gary burnt his little _eter (he was a kid) on the stove while taking a bath in a tub in the kitchen).

Back to my recollection-  I began to wake up and heard moaning and complaining and words telling me to go back to sleep so Santa could make his visit, so I guess I did and the next morning what did I find?  I received a beautiful ballerina doll all dressed in a beautiful tutu, w/tights, shoes, and a beautiful lavender dress and pink cape, both covered in organza.  My not so secret Santa “Myrtle”, was trying to sew these beautiful clothes and wanted me to be surprised on Christmas morning.  My secret Santa was only a kid herself, yet even then she was thinking of others. 

I still treasure that doll, even though she has not aged well.  Bobby and I had a disagreement and fought over my doll.  She was injured (broken leg) and over the years of grandkids, nieces, nephews, etc. my doll incurred other traumas, but through everything, I have her still today…2008 & ALMOST 2009!  (I’m not sure which of us aged better…I hope it’s me)!

It’s Missy

Just wanted to let everyone know that I think often of everyone and hope everyone is doing well.  I know times now-a-days are sooo busy; but I would love to have a party some time where we can all get together and just talk, eat and drink a soda or two.  This is a really neat thing you have put together Myrtle and I can’t wait to read what the rest of the family posts.
