Special Summer Trip 1986 driving to Virginia

We drove up to see Grandma Tessie and Grandpa Bradshaw who are your GREAT grandparents. Along the way we stopped at parks to eat, relax, and chase ducks.

How cool! Grandpa plays the accordian and we sing songs.

Later, there is time to play ball and look for bugs.

continue...Virginia Trip

We saw beautiful countryside and scarecrows (left) and enjoyed reading daily text each day. Here are three generations...Papa Bradshaw, Dad, and Tray.

The family van used for family vacations.

Do you remember this trip (below) to a historical home and go carts? It was either on our way back from Virginia or sometime soon afterwards.

Tray says: "It's good to be the oldest and get to drive!!!"

1990 -- The Photo/Sudio Home

Dad and I spent 2 years planning and doing paperwork for a new home and studio. We did all the plastering, painting, carpets, wallpaper, and landscape ourselves. We also finished all the drywall, finishing plumbing & electrical work upstairs. Whew! That's the old Montego-- red car in the photo with Grandma Tessie.

This is the first house next to the new house/studio.

Below we had lots of visitors when it was built like... (left photo) Your cousins...Phillip and Jillian /(right photo) Granddad, my brother Joe, my sister Lynda, and Mary Schooner from Ohio who we called Nanna. There you are with a new toy that Granddad bought for you.
