Old Photo Weekend

This photo was taken in La Puente, California. I'm thinkin' that I'm about six and Actonbell is about two. (Mom?) The dog in the back is Cecil (named for Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent, one of my favorite cartoons at that time). Cecil was the son of Cindy, my Aunt Mary and Cousins Tommy & Fletcher's dog. (A story about Fletcher, Cindy and her puppies is here.)

When we moved into this house, the grass was about a foot tall. As the lawn mower soon discovered, the tall grass hid about 300 plastic toy soldiers, ranging in size from a couple of inches tall to one that was 12 inches tall. Needless to say, many did not come thru that first mowing unmaimed.

Mom (TLP) has been working very hard the last two weeks on our church's Yard Sale. And her PC got fried, too, so she hasn't been around BlogLand very much. But the Yard Sale is done on June 3 (today) and maybe next week she can turn her attention to getting her PC troubles resolved.
