Oh Yeah

I almost forgot. Happy May Day. We used to celebrate this when I was a kid. I can't remember what we did though. Something involving flowers and our neighbor, Mr. Ma....I have no idea how to spell it.

we used to leave construction paper baskets of flowers (we made the baskets, stole the flowers from the neighbors' yards) on the neighbors doorsteps first thing in the morning...the McCulloughs of course, the Tangens i think and someone else i can't remember...what was Randy's last name?

That's right. I knew that it had something to do with flowers. I can't remember his name. He always bought lemonade from me when I had a stand. I liked him. He built our deck right?

Last I heard, Dave was living in some middle of nowhere town in Wisconsin. Working as a carpenter.

Why did we steal the flowers? Was dad that anal about using our own? I don't remember stealing them, but I remember the baskets never being strong enough. Who lived in the barn-shaped house across the street? I remember leaving a basket there at least once.
I think Randy's last name is Coleman. Was is Oak-something where Dave was living? The town destroyed by a tornando a while back?
Wasn't mom a witness for some case Randy had against someone who damaged his motorcycle behind the shop?
Congratulations on the license!

No it wasn't Oakdale (sp?), it was farther away than that. I knew the girl that lived in the barn house, but her name escapes me at the moment.

It just occured to me that the mom who lived in the barn house helped us set up our first Macintosh. I was maybe 8. Nice. I guess I have her to thank.
