71

 My baby brother is 71 years old today. 


Well here he is a long time ago using his new fishing rod in a water bucket.  Perhaps he was practicing his casting with a new fishing rod.  (Maybe I told him to practice casting to keep him busy!)

Note the wash on the line.  The photo was taken about 1957 or 1958 before the old farmhouse was remodeled the first time.  Baby brother is sitting on the front steps of the old farmhouse. 

Happy Birthday baby brother!

  3. Happy birthday to your brother. The picture is so fun. He was probably imagining all the fish he planned to catch! That laundry line looks just like the one in our backyard when I was growing up.

  5. Happy birthday to your little brother! My "little" brother will be 72 in June. I remember washing lines so well, my mom never had a modern washer / dryer when we were growing up, so it wa use the old wringer washer and the clothesline or wait until we had a trip to town and go to the laundromat. Nothing like the fresh smell of line dried clothing and sheets!

  6. Happy Birthday to your brother!
    In my memories, the smell of fresh laundry dried on the outside line was so amazing. I wasn't nearly as big of a fan of having to iron so many items though. :)

  14. Happy birthday to baby brother. Yes, I also have memories of clothes-line dried clothes, but it is an adult memory, not a childhood memory.

  15. What a wonderful photo!!! Happy Birthday Baby Brother. I bet it is hard to believe how old he is and the photo is. I am still having palpations that the wall revealed our last bathroom remodel was 33 years ago.

  18. Happy Birthday to your little brother! I remember that I would wash my doll clothes quite often and hang them on a lower line that my dad fixed for me! It was the best of times!
