The Family That Stays Together, Plays Together - Growing Up In California In the Seventies and Eighties. moonshine

A beautilul meadow.



This is as close to heaven as you can get on earth. Pat thinks so.

A school photograph. Black and white. An amateur  photographer learning the craft. Perfection.



Monica and Moonshine; a girl and her horse; she took care of him, groomed him, fed him, boarded him, learned to ride him; bareback and in competitions; he was one of the major loves of her life.



This would make a nice screen saver.



The family resemblance is clear; Joe, Tim, Patrick, and Monica; their Swedish ancestry is written on their faces; moments like this are remembered a lifetime; a family that loves nature and the outdoors.



Thanks Dad for bringing the three of us kids here to this beautiful place.

These dogs, Ellie and Augustus, love to stretch their legs. They'll be out the rest of the day; not really.
