Back in 1996 we didn't have digital cameras. I had an inexpensive 35 mm. camera, and we had to buy film and pay for developing. You had no idea how your pictures came out until you got them back from being developed. I love digital cameras and the ability to see your pictures right away, and to take dozens of pictures and delete the ones that aren't as good. What a wonderful invention!
We were 'financially challenged' in those early years at Linefork, so I don't have as many pictures as I do for the later years. Looking back at my pictures I'm surprised I didn't take more of the house and things like that. Some of the pictures I took, and have posted here, might be boring to the general public, but I want my kids to have a chance to see and 'save' them to their computers if they want any of them.
If you have any comments please leave them below, or email me at
Nancy Lee, for reasons I can't figure out, my computer will not let me respond to your comments on the other post, and it won't even let me leave a comment to let you know that I appreciate your comments! Thanks! I'd love to hear YOUR story!

A misty February morning, from the flat near the house, looking out over the valley.
That's the meadow I did so much walking on over the years there, back and forth
for exercise.
Two-year old Emily on the trampoline.
Barbara, nine years old.
The view from our living room porch, probably late February or early March.
The "branch" we carried water from ran down the ravine over the edge of the yard.
The trees across from us are on the other side of the creek.
You had to climb down to a small flat about 20' below our yard to get
to the branch.
The 'Arch' in St. Louis, Missouri
In March I took the boys and Emily with me back to northwestern Missouri to get our stuff from where we had lived there. The girls stayed with Jackie. We traveled in our 1977 Jeep pick-up truck, and on the way back we towed our little camping trailer. Both the truck and the camper were loaded with our things. Left to right: Timmy, Emily, Tristan.
Of course we went up in the arch!
That's the Mississippi river.
It was cool looking straight down at cars!
A tugboat and barge on the muddy Mississippi river.
We stayed at a Motel 6, and the kids really loved this picture on the wall.

Emily.
They wanted to always remember that 'beautiful picture'.
The kids on our living room porch.

Tristan, Becky, Barbara, Timmy. Emily in front.
This was the day Becky left with my Dad to go stay with them in Wisconsin. That's why she has a coat on and the other kids don't.

Tristan, Becky, Barbara, Timmy, and my Dad. Emily in front of Timmy.
We had the trampoline up against the living room porch and they were the same height. The kids could go running out the door, across the porch, and right onto the trampoline, so they spent a lot of time there.
