Who's In The Dog House?

This photo of Ginny (circa 1976) reveals an infamous bit of family lore. In the background, you'll see "The Dog House." This souvenir item that Ginny purchased on a family vacation featured a handful of wooden dog placards and an empty spot in "the dog house." 

Each child (and our father) had a dog with their name, and the joke among Ginny's kids was that her dog house was never empty, and everyone took a turn occupying it at one time, even long after plaque disappeared.

A Mother's Day Memory

This Polaroid shot was sent to son Ron as a "Thank You" for his Mother's Day gift to Ginny in 1977. It marked the last time that she would celebrate Mother's Day as a married woman -- our father died in March 1978.
