Grandma's Porch

When we were children we spent many a day sitting and playing on Grandma Morneau's porch.  The house is gone now but the wonderful memories still linger.

Moms a Teenager

.
Cecelia Marie Morneau
(Circa 1932)

Mom spent her entire youth in this home in Detroit, MI near the Michigan State Fairgrounds until she and my dad were married in 1938.  As children, my brothers and I lived here for brief periods of time when my dad was in the war.  I have fond memories of this house, neighborhood, and my grandparents who also lived here their entire lives until their passing in the late 70's.

Dad Made My Rocking Chair

.
Before I was born, my dad made this chair for me. 
He used a lathe and wood from an apple and a cherry tree.

 The chair has been passed down for generations
used by my children and now my grandchildren.
