The conversation was probably about fishing, what else. Dad looked so young. I wonder what year it was. I don't remember him switching to chewing tobacco. The third picture is in front of our marina before their living quarters were added on. On the far right is my Uncle Buster (Zeke) who co-owned the hotel. Next to him in the back is Uncle George. He ran the marina for Dad after he was discharged after WW2 was over. I'm not sure who the other two are. The one next to Dad may have been George Henchen who owned Henchen's marina which is the green building in the 4th picture. Grandpa hung out there all the time after he retired and moved to the other house. And NO you didn't stay up there all summer. It just seemed like it. The longest you kids stayed there was the month of June when we were moving back from Texas. Thanks for the memories.Donna Hufferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09126021800720239737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4059935180600513762.post-82687351642693365942011-11-13T06:54:22.266-05:002011-11-13T06:54:22.266-05:00OMGosh, you are SO adorable!

I remember being amazed when my mom took me back to Germany to see where she grew up and she told me all the neat things she did. My mom--skiing???? Going on "secret" weekends with her boyfriend????? OMG. And I looked at her in a whole new way after that. She's been gone for 10 years now, but I have the greatest memories of her stories of when she was young. Thanks for a great look back.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122524042294993949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4059935180600513762.post-7321431858923343232011-11-13T05:33:00.475-05:002011-11-13T05:33:00.475-05:00tami - I always viewed my parents / grandparents a...tami - I always viewed my parents / grandparents as just adults. It never occurred to me that they had lives of their own - they were my parents LOL<br /><br />Wonder what my mum (who died when I was 15) would think of her grown-up daughter, granddaughter and grandson. Would love to have an adult conversation with her.<br /><br />For everyone out there who still has their parents, especially their mothers, wont you please call her and tell her you love her. There's a terrible emptiness inside when you can no longer do that...<br /><br />But, I, too, have looked at old family photo's and wondered what was happening in their lives at that moment so long ago LOLDanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020970904311512357noreply@blogger.com
