Memories Are Made of This! (February 1969 Revisited)

For those who experienced a lot of snow this year here is a photo I made in February 1969. We had a snow storm that lasted off and on for two weeks. It set an all-time record for this area, nothing like it before or since. We ended up with four feet of snow on the ground. It brought the city to a standstill. I couldn't get my cars out for a week!

In this photo, we are walking out the lane, heading for a store to get some needed food and milk. This is Carol with Angie behind. Angie was 7 at the time. Our middle daughter, Syndee, then 4, was too small to walk. The snow over her head. So I was carrying her piggyback. I shot the picture with a Pentax SLR film camera. A copy of the print was shot with a D50 to save a copy. The print is showing its age.

Memories are made of this! Listen to Dean Martin sing the song - http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x17lln_dean-martin-memories-are-made-of-th_music#.UYsV0Uzn-cM

I remember a snow fall in the 40s in WI where it was almost over my head. of course I was about 4 but we were snowed in for days and we did not live in town, we lived at lake quite a ways from town. This is a great memory photo, Carol looks beautiful as always!

Image stirs up many memories. Iowa in the late 1950s we had so much snow we didn't shovel the walks, we tunneled through. Excellent picture !! V
