Shortly after the family gathered around our 4-legged black & white TV set in the living room to watch video clips of Astronaut Neil Armstrong (Yay Purdue!) take his first steps on the moon, and just prior to Richard Nixon being elected our 37th president, the house on Forest View Drive was experiencing a flurry of activity....The Delaware Trail Elementary School Pumpkin Parade entries were being carefully crafted by the resident first and second graders. (With a little help from dad and mom, no doubt.)
What conscientious mother wouldn't dress in a lovely red dress with black heels to visit the grade school pumpkin extravaganza - and kneel down on the concrete front stoop (clearly interrupting the gutter cleaning operation by the man of the household as evidenced by the ladder to the left) to proudly pose by her children's creations?
Aaahh...those were the days!
