Mom’s going to be so glad I found this old photo.

This was the LAST time I was at Branch Brook Park (prior to yesterday). 1979. That would have made me twelve and a half. I still remember those red boots, too. They were some kind of synthetic that made my feet hot, but I loved them anyway. And that very 70s cardigan, too. How funny that I remember those clothing items so well from 31 years ago?

The dog I’m holding is Muppy, our first dog, a wire-haired minature dachshund. She had a wonderful time, just like Chappy did yesterday.

Of course, Muppy was a little lighter and easier to get INTO the tree…

    Lovely pics. Although I notice that you didn’t climb quite as far this time!

    I was *born* in 1979!

    Also, I love that your dog was named Muppy. After the dog in the Muppet Show or coincidence?

    Larissa–Since my hands were full of 35 lbs of Chappy, climbing was a little difficult! As I recall, last time, I climbed up and then Mom or Dad handed 9-lb Muppy to me to hold. Much different!

    Hillary–Thanks for making me feel so old. And, actually, her real name was Mustard (because she was a hot dog), but it shortened and softened into Muppy, which suited her much better!
