Tree House

My parents had a magnificent tree house constructed in our backyard, providing Bob and me with an exciting sanctuary to explore and play. We eagerly anticipated spending a night under the twinkling stars, reveling in the magic of our tree-bound retreat. However, our excitement was dampened by the recent arrest of a child molester in our city, casting a shadow of fear over our adventure.
Despite our initial enthusiasm, the weight of unease lingered in the air, and we found ourselves retreating to the safety of our beds after only a brief 20 minutes in the tree house.

Sadly, our cherished retreat was not to last, as the tree contracted a devastating disease, forcing its inevitable removal. With heavy hearts, we bid farewell to our beloved tree house, its demise symbolizing the end of an era filled with childhood wonder and imagination.

We looked pretty happy for losing our tree house!

Social Security income

2024-01-22

This is my Social Security income from the time I started working in 1968 to the time that I retired in May 2004. They do not count all of your yearly income since I do not see the $100,000 year from Disney in 1985 and 86, but then a big year in 1994, so they must just report some percentage of your yearly income. But I find it fascinating that my entire history of employment can be seen on one page!
