Grey Day — February 9, 2013 |
||
 |
|
||
|
It was a grey day, but not too rainy, and the mood of the family demanded an outing. We went to Cloud Cap games in Sellwood and bought a few new games (Cosmic Encounter, Timeline, and Hive) and a bigger puzzle for Ruby. I love how colorful we all are in these photos, with the sort of dreary Portland spring backdrop. We bring the fun in!

We gathered up Apl, some of her dear little friends, some sparkly playdough, some snacks, some treats, some ice cream, and some cake, and had a big ol’ 4-year-birthday hullabaloo.

Yay zoo lights! We went with Grandma Susie, and thankfully it wasn’t too cold. It was pretty as always, and packed, too.

I was so excited for our New Year’s party! Lots of cool people came, and some youngun’s and we made a good go at the new puzzle, ate some great food, and enjoyed some good drinks. It was so great to see so many of our friends, old and new!

Elaine — 1937 |
||
|
|

|
Bob Gydesen sent me this picture of my grandma Elaine. I love the little stars on her collar!

Elaine on a trike — 1934 |
||
|
|
||
|
Bob Gydesen sent me this picture of Elaine. He didn’t mention who the baby is, but it might be his little sister Evelyn since she was born in 1933, and Bob said this picture was taken in 1934.
