August 29, 1967: Nothing again

Diary entry for August 29, 1967:

"Nothing unusual today."

Today was another do-nothing day, so you know what that means, right? Another trip in the Wayback Time Machine to post photos I didn't realize I had a the time. Today we will revisit my post of August 1, 1967 regarding the first letter of this series. That letter introduced us to several new characters, the first of which is Taffy, our cocker spaniel. Here are two pictures taken in front of our house in Carrollton, TX. I'm not sure if these were taken before or after we lived in Los Angeles, but my best guess is before due to the color of the grass and the length of my hair. The first one is a picture of me holding Taffy in our front yard, and the second one is me and my mom both holding Taffy.






Wasn't I just cute as a button in those overalls?

Those utility poles across the street are a little harder to see now: https://www.google.com/maps/@32.9722335,-96.9050703,3a,75y,12.93h,106.1t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sRO9JrCj3TbCY9epKX-9zdQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en


I think Taffy was about a year or two younger than me. She lived until at least 1981 (almost 20 years), which was after I graduated high school and moved away for college.
