Bambies Galore!


2 years ago at this time of year we had a deer phenomenon in a field nearby - about 40-50 deer appeared one evening and were there every eve at dusk for almost a month. This photo is obviously only one small section of the field. We haven't seen that many in one place since....it was pretty neat while it lasted.

My four generations photo from March 1980...Gram Reed would have been 79, Mom 55, me 22 and Christy 10 months. We had just gotten back from skiing in Utah. Christy spent the week with Gram Reed while we were gone. I can't believe I'm creaping up on the age Mom was when the photo was taken. For some reason we don't look very happy-I've never noticed that before. Maybe the picture taker wasn't amusing enough. Or perhaps was taking WAY too much time!
