Signing off to hop on a plane

Hi, friends and family,
I'm signing off of photo/blog duties tomorrow to start the Southern US tour. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in Huntsville, Castell, and/or Fayetteville.
XXOO,
Kay

Lots of 70s and 80s pictures from Paul Loeffler, with some 40s, 60s pictures from Mary Helmcamp and a black and white classic of the college friends from Janie Oakes

Only way I could figure out how to get a PDF up here was to take a screen shot. But this was worth it:

Nope, not him.

Yes, this is definitely him. Dad was building "tiny houses" back when they were just called "cabins."

Pontotoc Vineyard, January 2013.

With Bill, Dan, Paula, Charles, Nona, and Deborah

His favorite spot for ice cream in Deer Isle. When I was there we met his neighbor, who had to sneak away from the house to eat the kind of mammoth ice cream sundaes he was enjoying when we saw him.

Dad's a great fan of the Blue Hill Fair, and apparently the Fair likes him back. Same fair as in the Charlotte's Web story.
