After the Northridge Earthquake I think. It was almost unrecognizeable, but my bedroom window was still in the same spot.CondoBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15361817328187181417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513844.post-76598304066554600222007-03-04T12:47:00.000-08:002007-03-04T12:47:00.000-08:00I too face the reality that I'll never again live ...I too face the reality that I'll never again live the lifestyle I did as a child.<BR/><BR/>I try not to be sad about it.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11877772974936424670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513844.post-70082997975536922182007-03-03T17:15:00.000-08:002007-03-03T17:15:00.000-08:00Jo, there were tons of trees by the house - but th...Jo, there were tons of trees by the house - but the lot it was on had been cleared out. At the base of the lot, and everywhere else, it was compltetly wooded. So you're right!<BR/><BR/>I think that reel-to-reel tape recorder is still at the house. Pretty much everything from throughout our lives is still there. I still remember the smell of the slide projector and screen that we used to put up (yes, they had a smell) ... some of the slides were of a trip my parents (and my brother Dave) took out here to Seattle in 1962. Dave learned to stand up on that trip in the back of the old station wagon. Mom and Dad considered moving out here (they had pictures of a house they were looking at) and Dad was going to be a salmon fisherman instead of a structural engineer! I could have grown up very differently!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08564827704670105620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513844.post-29623245138032394912007-03-03T17:05:00.000-08:002007-03-03T17:05:00.000-08:00I could have sworn the lake house was in a mass of...I could have sworn the lake house was in a mass of woods. Maybe that was when your folks just bought the property. I do remember going on a boat for a sales tour around the lake with my dad.<BR/><BR/>Wow, I remember both the houses. I remember staying overnight once at the first house. Your dad had a big reel to reel tape player and I was on the floor with your brother Dave. Your dad was trying to tape record us, but I wouldn't say anything.<BR/><BR/>I remember Beth going to babysit you guys at the second house. That's the house I remember the Christmas tree in, the one with all the tinsel!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513844.post-14027634682364269262007-03-03T13:23:00.000-08:002007-03-03T13:23:00.000-08:00I am totally loving the history lesson.....I'm all...I am totally loving the history lesson.....I'm all about old pictures, stories, history, behind-the-scenes stuff....<BR/>thanks so much for sharing!A Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05066992019067893513noreply@blogger.com
