1976

I think that this must be our neighbor Tim B, since he's the only guy I know who had horses in the neighborhood. This slide was processed in December 1976, but I would guess that it's taken a few months earlier than that, based on lack of snow.

Below, a few shots of the house, also from 1976.

The kitchen. Note the slate painting on the wall. I can remember many spider plants like the one on the right from growing up. The natural light coming in is from the glass door that led to the back yard off of the kitchen, before the addition. I think the hutch is still in the house, but painted blue.

The living room.
My bedroom. My mother painted the Winnie the Pooh murals on the walls. Sadly, they no longer exist. I like the Winnie the Pooh doll leaning up against the Winnie the Pooh wall painting.

There's some question now of whether that actually is Tim B in the first slide, or just some other random mustachioed horse-driver who happened to be roaming through the village.

We also don't know who the other people in the image are. It's definitely not Esther in the front with "Tim" and it's definitely not Nana, even though this woman is clearly wearing one of Nana's hats.
