    Was going through some pictures and thought some might like them.

    Back in late winter of 1968 my sister and BIL asked if we'd like to take a little trip and also take along our snowmachine. He had a trailer so we loaded it up and went to several places. I don't remember why we had stopped here and don't even remember where it was except it was in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and the snow was good plus we had lots of sunshine on that trip.

    Picture the sequence of the pictures. She did not know what was about to happen but we all had a good laugh.

    Indeed, they bring me much pleasure and I've spent many hours just looking at her pictures. Why did I not take more?

    Great photos Dennis. Glad to see you looking at them and sharing. You two definitely had a great relationship aside from the white wash.
