1984 re-visited and 1985

Me and CJ move a spruce- 1984 A lot of hard work

That's the same tree in 2003 - glad we moved it when it was small!

  The year started out a lot busier than the last one, holy cow!  Not long after Hollie was born and Floyd came to stay with us we decided to do some renovations.  The kitchen and the "storage room" behind would be gutted and rebuilt as the kitchen with a laundry included, a deck with an accessable ramp would be added on, and the heating system would be upgraded with a new boiler.  Now that's a lot for a now one income family to take on.  At least it costs less 25 years ago.  We were able to get a line of credit on the house and get the job done.  Good workers do good work, it was done sooner than I expected, the job was done and it was great.
  My work at the School Department was going well, it really was a great group of people, the Superintendent left and we got a real winner.  He was one of the most fun people I've ever worked with, life is good with a good boss; and a great wife. 

Hollie with Floyd, it may be the last time she "kissed" anybody.

Hollie at 10 months

Here I am with another one of my "dream" cars, a '39 Buick.
