I remember all 7 of us fitting in dad's VW bug when we lived in Hawaii. That was funny.

Mom used to make a lot of our Barbie clothes. That was special.

When we lived in Hawaii she took a cooking class and practiced her new recipes on us. Most were pretty good. Mom also found as many ways as possible to use the avocados from the tree in our yard in Hawaii. Surprisingly most of us still like avocados.

I remember all the parties that dad had to have for his command in Cleveland; we all use to sit at the top of the stairs and watch and listen.

When we first moved into the house on Judson dad made a sifter and sifted the front yard to get all the rocks and weeds out of the dirt then he planted his seeds. Dad loved having a garden he had a big one on Judson in the backyard it took up almost half of the yard.

Gary remembered when he went hunting with dad. Dad shot a deer in the butt and when Gary gutted it the insides were all messed up. Dad never shot at deer again.

Another one is the coy he put in the pond in Hawaii named Moe, Larry and Curly.

I remember when we went camping we had to have a pool for the kids and a stream for dad's fly fishing.

Dad loved his dogs (big Princess, little Princess, Amber and Midge). Big Princess was mom's dog but dad would have an Oreo cookie and milk with her every night.
