Digging Through My Photo Albums

I wondered if I had any good photos of Julie and found a few to share.  It was interesting to me to see how many times she showed up in pictures taken at family get-togethers and summer family reunions at my Mom's house.  Most of those photos weren't clear enough or had too many people in them, but I found a few to share.

 

Julie with her daughter, Zella, in the pool at Dennice's house.

That's me in the white jacket.  On the left is Tim, Zella, and Julie.  Directly behind me are my Mother and my sister Dennice holding her son Jacob.  Friends Mary and Monica are at the very back and on the very right.  Often Julie didn't smile big in posed pictures -- she was always self-conscious of her overbite.

Julie, my sister Lois, and my sister P.J.

Julie with Zella, friends Heather and Kyle, and my Mother on the right.  I don't know what has them all so engrossed.

One year Julie and Dennice made costumes for their kids, Zella and Jamie, and costumes for themselves, did their own and their kids' make up, and decorated Julie's big adult tricycle to ride in the parade during Hardinsburg's Hoedown Days Festival.  "Annie and Andy's Ragmobile" won a prize that year. 

 

In this picture Julie is the rag doll with the parasol striding behind the Ragmobile, Dennice is walking a bit behind.  Zella (Annie) is taking her turn pedaling, and Jamie (Andy) is riding behind.  My niece, Crissie, walked along with them for abit.  Julie made the yarn "wigs"; she and Dennice did the costumes and decorated the trike.

Zella, Julie's daughter dressed as Raggedy Ann; my nephew Jamie as Raggedy Andy; and my niece, Crissie.  I was working for one of the local papers at that time, and if I remember correctly we had this picture on the front page.

In this photo Jamie is pedaling and Zella is riding on the back.  Again Crissie is nearby.  I think they're waiting to take their place in the parade.  There was a story behind why the "e" in "Ragmobile" is leaning, but I can't remember what it is.  I think we put this picture in a collage of festival pictures.  I'm sure I have that paper somewhere.
