1970's Photos. When they were young!

When Christmas comes and the kids fade out. The desired effect!

 Trolling for big fish!  Yeah, I know, somehow a summer picture crept in.

 Did you ever notice that the snow was always deeper when you were a kid?

 Why I was in shape back then!  An old saying carved in a mantel place "He who cuts his own wood is twice warmed"!

 Our old dog Pal, the best babysitter in town! He was a herder and kept kids out of harms way.

 Sledding was always popular around the Christmas holidays!

 For all you folks out there in blog land, have a GOOD day, and remember that most days are gooder than others.

Going Way Back

Our family home going back to the 1900's. It still stands and hasn't changed much.

 One of my first hunting trips with my Dad, about 1957.

A distant relative David Lockhart in the early 1900's

What the Mayor of Kenora (my dad) had to do in 1945 in International Falls, Minnesota when he lost a bet to their mayor. (m.a Hydrants seem to be a magnet for dogs. He was forced ( at gunpoint :-} to clean it!)

The local snow princesses in Kenora, 1946. The blocks of ice were cut from the lake to build castles and ice sculptures on the street corners. Lights were put inside the blocks. What a way to celebrate Winter carnival 

This is a little more recent, 1997 in Thunder Bay Ontario when we received two snow falls of 50 cm each within 3 days! It took a week before we could get out.
