Becky got everything trimmed and hemmed. No more blue tape!
We’ve cleaned up our act
The hat
Turns out there is a photo of Dad and the hat.
Thank you, brother Tom.
Turns out brother Bill had the hat too (sort of). I’d make this photo from about 1954 plus or minus.
Along the way
Lake Minatare State Recreation Area in Nebraska. It has a lighthouse.
It doesn’t need a lighthouse. It’s not a very big lake, and it’s in Nebraska! But during the dark days of the depression, it was constructed as a beacon of hope. Built entirely of native stone by the Veterans Conservation Corps, it was completed in 1939 and is now known as the Plains Lighthouse. It doesn’t really have a light at the top. It serves as an observation tower and attraction.
This hat!
I just remembered; Dad had a hat like this.
A wide-brimmed hat. He wore it fishing at Lake Wohlford. I can’t find any pictures of him with it on though.
Something’s happening here
In September I sent out the morning view of the tree in Becky’s back yard.
Something was happening at the top.
Update. The tree in October.
Yup, something’s happening here.
