Ran across this photo some time ago, and decided to scan it. This was taken under the Sycamore tree in front of the Westminister house around Halloween in 1983. It must have been a Sunday, judging from the dresses. That house was 900 square feet, 4 bedroom, 1 bath, and no basement. We paid about $30,000 for that house, and after living in it for 9 years, we sold it for just a bit more.
I remember baking a lot, making jam, and canning. The girls and I would do all sorts of crafts. But baking was probably the favorite activity because it could be eaten when done.
One year at Halloween, Annie was a princess. Her costume was an old prom dress that I found at a garage sale and modified to fit a 5-year-old, with a crown and scepter that Dad made from cardboard and tin foil. Nina was a kitty. Lauren was a mouse. These costumes were made from the same pattern. They were all so cute when we went out!

It was probably Halloween 1984 because I was born December 1983. I'm in the picture and I'm huge. It's impossible that I'm -2 months there, I'd be much smaller.
I totally remember Annie's skeptor!! That thing lasted longer than I think Dad expected it to!
