Oh - you miss...me too -with the smell! funny huh. Oh - you missed the chore chart!!! No wonder you seem a well-balanced person...unscarred. .. <br />That's funny Sheila! We probably freaked you out with the "mom" being so young and all. Yeah, I feel like grandma/helen/bill were such warm people - they really would have been a welcoming family for a new member. <br /><br />-Becki<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390960884009884247.post-20821729631602227842015-08-18T08:41:56.751+02:002015-08-18T08:41:56.751+02:00Wow Becki, More great memories!

I don't remember the chore chart of the stickers... maybe we were too small, but now I'm remembering there was a picture of the Pink Panther on the wall by the kitchen and some little rhyme about eating and the rotary phone. On sleeping-- I do think the green couch pulled out, so that must have helped. Maybe Traci was out there with you and Grandma. On pictures of Karen and Carol-- that's one thing that really stands out for me at Grandma's house-- she had pictures of them (maybe senior pictures?) hanging on her wall in the living room and I always remember looking at them and thinking how beautiful they were! And of course, so many more memories of Grandma's house. I can still remember how it smells!gwshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07272862152282207403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390960884009884247.post-40743908721553261112015-08-18T05:51:29.907+02:002015-08-18T05:51:29.907+02:00Becki, I have the original picture and it is you...Becki, I have the original picture and it is you. I had good memories there, too. You and Traci used to call me "mom" as a joke. You know I was only 22 when I married your dad. Your Aunt Helen was my sister-in-law and she was wonderful. And, of course, so was Gram Quick! I loved the family.

Well, a lo..."The mushies" cracked me up! Well, a lot of those memories did. You even reminded me of a few like the "one drawer each" regulation and changing in the small closet. I remember the chore chart and the gold star positive reinforcement system, taking the row boat to the little store to return bottles - get the refund and buy gum, walking around the circle, having neighbors over for "dutch lunch", the amazingly agile parking skills of Dad - getting that big, lemon-cookie Lincoln through those two trees for parking always made me nervous, feeding chipmunks pancakes, the buffalo on the Olson's store, Vernors, and listening to the call and response type music of all the people snoring. <br /><br />My question is....if Helen and Bill were at the cabin during this time with your grandma and everyone else - where were we all sleeping? I do remember some times someone sleeping on the green couch....hmmm. Also, that one bathroom seems pretty problematic with that situation. Guess its good I don’t really remember how that all worked. <br /><br />Going to Helen and Bill's in Marshall was always as fun for me as going to the cabin, too. I loved the architecture of their house, playing ping pong in the basement, hanging out in the living room with a nice view to the green backyard, sneaking into the "formal living room" and checking out the pictures, watching Helen play the piano with a lot of vim, checking out the family photos and being in awe of Karen and Carol's long beautiful hair....a different world for those of us that got the "fine Quick hair". Anywho - I'll miss Helen so much and all things "up north" will always have a feel of her in them for me. Thanks for posting this Regan - Becki <br />P.S. How did you know that was me out the window? I can barely distinguish which kid that is! <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390960884009884247.post-53703877761329287472015-08-18T01:51:30.808+02:002015-08-18T01:51:30.808+02:00That cabin, that life is my dream!
