Mom's Mystery Chest



Mom's mystery chest has lain in the dark receses of her garage unopened for 30 years.
What does it contain!  Vern guesses dust, Sue thinks it is empty, Rosemary thinks Mom's wedding dress.
Judy says blankets, Mom thinks she remembers uniforms.


We gather for the "OPENING"


Mom and Rick have the honor.


Rick finds his baby rattle!


Sue finds Dad's dress uniforms.  There are five altogether in perfect condition.


There is Rosemary's old tutu!

.

Rick fits right into Dad's Navy overcoat


We travel to the Chehalis Veteran's Museum.  Mom presents the uniforms as a gift.


The museum graciously accepts the gift.  They say if we can bring pictures and other memorabilia, they
would be able to make a display featuring dad!  Their purpose is not to forget the vets who so heroically
served their country.  They gave us an impressive tour.  It was a higlight of our great weekend together.

Sandpoint dead-eye's



 
Unbelievable first time shots.  Cans were flying off the stump almost every time.   Good going Hannah, Paige & Maren.



Where's Paige? I looked around and couldn't see her, then looked up.
