Christmas Photo

12 27 2006

My sister at the Marshall Animal Shelter when she was four.

Christmas 1973

Aw, look how cute she is with the fluffy kitty and happy puppy! When my parents told me they were taking my sister to the pound, I was very excited! But it turned out they weren’t gonna leave her — just take a photo for our local newspaper, the Marshall News Messenger. Oh well. Maybe next year…

Hehe, jus kiddin, love ya, sis!!!

(Historical Note: My father, who worked at the paper for quite some time, used to refer to it as the Marshall News Mess. As a loud-mouthed child, I was sworn to secrecy on that nickname, but I’m pretty sure the statute of limitations on that swear has expired by now. Fingers crossed.)

    Imagine how excited I was when Dad took David to the circus. It took them long enough to realize where he belonged. When they both came back home I was disappointed to find the circus didn’t want him either. Love ya Dave!!
