In
1992, Mother and Mary had visited Steve in San Diego after he had retired
from the Navy. In this photo, they are preparing a quantity of “twice-baked”
potatoes for Steve’s freezer. |
 |
Both
mother and Aunt Mary fell in love with Falco and Cody, Steve’s
two German Shepherds. |
 |
One
of the places they got to see on this trip was Seaport Village in downtown
San Diego. |
 |
We
had also gone out to Del Mar to watch the hot air balloons being launched
for their late-afternoon flights inland. |
 |
And,
of course, a trip to the flower fields in Carlsbad, CA to see the many
acres of commercially-grown flowers was something that both Mary and
Mom thoroughly enjoyed. |
 |
Dave
had gotten into his own kiosk business selling various arts and crafts.
In this 1994 photo he is surrounded by some of the balloons he was selling
at that time. |
 |
Mom
is wearing her winter hat, so it must have been during my fall trip
to Ohio. |
 |
These
are some of the arts and craft products that Dave and Cheryl were selling
in their kiosk at that time. |
 |
Before
her stroke in 1995, Mom usually liked to make a wreath and to hang it
on her front door for the Holiday season. |
