My sister, Jill, shared a memory with me the other day. I'm posting it today because this is her birthday!
Jill remembers being on a trip with our parents where she celebrated her birthday at my house. Rob made her something wooden in his workshop. We identified the year as 1980. The trip was to Lovelock, and Fallon, Nevada, to attend Gary and Jolayne's wedding on December 20th.
The family headed back for Washington so they'd be there in time to go to Grandma Epps' house on Christmas Eve. They almost went straight there. Jill said, "Dad stopped being a scrooge that night. On the way to Grandma's house he
took us to the store and let us pick out anything we wanted, well,
within reason."
1980 was the only year Jill can ever remember wearing casual clothes to the family Christmas celebration. Cousin Jennifer (Epps) was jealous. She had to wear a dress, nylons and fancy shoes!
