This card, fortunately, actually has a year written on it; 1995. Aunt Carol wrote it down when she signed for most of the family. Jeff is ironically not on the card, but he’s in the photo down below. He served in the Navy for a time, I’m not sure what years, but could have been during that time.

As I looked through an album tonight I found a photo I thought I just had to include in this article. My Grandma and three of my aunts are in the picture, but I am sitting to the left of Aunt Carol. For some reason though I am trying to look cool I guess. I don’t know why I was putting on my sunglasses in Great-Grandpa Arla’s living room. I do love that this was when the camera put dates on the pictures though. Which is right on top of my cousin, Jeff.
This is a really good photo of one of our Bishop Lester Sunday Afternoons. Goodness it seems so long ago.
There is a five year difference between the card and the photo. I would have been 10 years old when I got the card. Wow I look more grown up even to myself as I look at the teenager in this photo.


I just found some more cards tonight plus there is a very special card coming up in a couple of days. It has a very special meaning. Plus I have some pretty awesome photos of some of my birthdays and my first car might just be in that mix.
