A quick couple of pictures

The folks here are looking at the photos we took on our trip – none of which were taken during the last day . . . the transporting Shane day. Don’t know why, unless it was me driving and Cameron continuously playing with him in the back seat.

Speaking of Cameron, I must say he proved to be a very big help and very responsible in looking after Shane’s welfare. (This morning when Shane saw Cameron was awake, he dropped his squeaky Kong Wubba on his face.)

This is the model of the house we lived in at Blytheville AFB (now Eaker); part of the housing is now the property of Westminister retirement living . . . or something like that.

This is the floor plan.

I could show you a picture of me, AmeliaJake, from those days, but it would be difficult to correspond the 2010 AJ with the 1973 floor plan.

And this is Quentin and Shane in Memphis.

Later I will post a couple of pictures of the part of the housing that has not been refurbished . . . those would have been taken before a security guard with a goatee on an angular face and a southern accent told us we shouldn’t be there. He wasn’t too understanding about my having lived there all those decades ago with a member of the Air Force who was actually in the B-52’s.

However, when I pulled out of the base onto a four-lane road and a Gossnell officer stopped me for going too fast for the posted limit, she gave me a verbal warning when I answered her question about being unfamiliar with the area with the story of long ago.

This is the bag I gave Mother a couple of Christmases ago. When she was sick I loaded it up with stuff from her house and papers and whatever and when we went to the hospital with Der Bingle, I upended it and loaded it with his stuff . . . and whatever. Now it has gone to Tennessee to pick up Shane and bring him back to Indiana. I don’t know where it will be going next; I guess we will see.
