Wistful Wednesday: The girls

In 1977 our girls were little.  Trica was 5 and Jennifer was almost 2.

T J  1977 (2)

Both were tow-heads, their hair was very blonde and lightened even more during the summer.  The puppy was a Boston Terrier named Annie that belonged to my parents. The photo was taken at Bass Bay Resort on the North end of Straight Lake. A fishing/family resort owned by my parents.  They bought it in 1975 after spending the years 1952-1975 on the farm in Carsonville Township.

Cute picture. Looks like they would have been good huggers.

It's hard to believe that was more than forty years ago! :-)

So cute those girls! 1975 just doesn't seem like that long ago but I know it is! Did your parents think farming or owning the resort was the most work?

That's a sweet photo. Bet there are lots of wonderful family memories surrounding that resort.

Looks like Jennifer and Annie were inseparable.

What a sweet picture. Did you enjoy the farm or the resort more?

77 was just yesterday. Right???? Cute kids. There were 4 of us in our family, all blond like that...back in the 50s.

My brother, sister, and I all had white-blonde hair when we were little. My brother and sister's turned a golden blonde but mine turned a dark dishwater blonde--almost light brown--like my mother's. Gosh, they grow up so quickly!!

I never lived at that resort just the farm:)

Both were lots of work, the resort a bit easier physically.
