Here we are in 1966 visiting Grampie and Nettie at their cottage in
Portage Lake, Maine. We had just been picking raspberries. I, of course, am having a different experience than everyone else is. Where IS she?
I guess I'm thinking about Portage Lake today because my parents and I will be traveling there together in July. I don't remember it very well and my father has graciously consented to escort me there for a visit. And of course we can't go north without Mommy. Road trip!
Notice that I am smoking a pipe just like Grampie. Rumor has it that he was also a bit of a storyteller.
Genetics. Go figure.

I can't believe they let you smoke a pipe at such a young age! :) What were they thinking? Grampie looks like a character from a 30's film.
Crazy, huh? And yes, I'm sure he WAS a character from a 30's film.
