I am so glad we had our day in the sun yesterday. When I woke up this morning, there was snow. It didn't last very long. I decided to post a couple more old pictures. One is of me pushing my sister, Elsie, in the baby buggy. I am four and Elsie is two. The other picture is of Elsie's house not too far from Lake Stevens. Wayne, Elsie's husband built the house and it remained just the same for sixty some years. It was never finished. The house is setting on 10 acres of land. When the real estate market gets better, she should have lots of money. Elsie's son, Jimmy, is taking care of things. They must have some money coming in because it costs close to $3000.00 a month in the Assisted Living Center she is living in .
I will get back to some of my stories next time. I am writing them to my children but they are for all the family to read . They are for the grandchildren, great-grandchildren, family members related by marriage or whatever or just to anyone who is curious about what an old lady writes about. I just love being on the computer and I so appreciate all the blogs from family members. It is so fun to watch the babies growing up.

  1. Did you and Elsie getting along well? How old was Elsie when she got married? It is funny how names come back around to be popular again. Our friends named their little girl Elsie.

  2. My sister and I got along pretty good. We did fight a lot over what now seems silly things. Mostly we fought when we had to share a room. She was always so messy and I always wanted my things neat and orderly. I am not sure just when she got married. I think she went into Nurses Training at Everett General maybe when she was 19. Nurses training was three years. She met Wayne at the hospital. She got married shortly after she graduated.
