This is my dad Fritz and I on the sled at the top of the hill we made....our garage which was pretty ugly was the background of the snow hill...my dad and I piled the snow up so we could slide down. Now our lot where we lived was very small. But my dad always made the best of what we had...Fun.. in the summer we had veggies and flowers growing, and in the winter we made snow hills...
The above picture is my dog Trixie and me, out on the lake that has turned to ice....and of course on top was all the snow...
Yes that is me ice skating...I have a picture somewhere where I skated with a chair to hold me up... of course there was no one around but my family for this was out to my cottage....just me, mom, dad and hot chocolate...we would go into the cottage and it was freezing in there, but mom would turn on the stove and heat up some milk which she brought with us, so we could have hot chocolate, with marshmellows....
And there is mom pulling me on the sled...would I remember all those wonderful times with mom and dad and the hot chocolate, if it wasn't for the pictures....I don't think so....that's why I feel so fortunate to have had parents who took all those pictures.. Lake Erie at Maumee Bay was where all this took place...I go out there now, and it looks nothing like what it did back in the good old days...
Well it will be a new year Sunday, and I hope we all have NEW wonderful memories to make.... HAPPY NEW YEARS!
