1965
|
Things
were
going well.
The kids were growing. I worked 6 days a week, so Sandy did most of the
child-raising, parenting. After dinner, the boys and I would do a
little rough-housing, until they got too big for me.
We went out with our friends on Saturday evenings. Sandy had
lots of
friends with children whom she saw regularly and telephoned frequently,
Her parents came out every Saturday, and as the boys got older, Sandy
was able to spend much Saturday time alone with her mother, generally
shopping. Sometimes even buying stuff. |
June 1965

Sandy always made birthday parties for the boys. This one is Richard's
7th, on June 25, 1965.
The boys were old enough so that we could plan some extended trips. |

So, in July of 1965, we got in the car and drove for a
while.

Glens Falls,

It
was a good trip.
We covered over 2,100 miles in about a month. Except for the first day,
we didn't drive more than 120 to 130 miles at a time, and took days of
sightseeing before getting back on the road. The boys developed a
system for unloading the car at each motel. No muss, no fuss, no bother.
We didn't know it then, but it was the last extended trip for the five
of us. |
