Once there was a snowman, snowman

In this photo Carolyn and Gerry are standing in the front yard of the 718 Flora Street house.  
This photo shows the sandstone wall that dad built around the yard in the front of the house.


In the bottom photo Kathy, Carolyn and Gerry are hanging out with the snowman.


There is a bit of interesting history regarding on of the cars in the picture above.

The old, dark car, the front vehicle in this picture was named Tootsie Roll.  Dad bought this car for Mom.  Before Mom had this vehicle, she would load us up into the little red wagon and we would walk / ride down a small dirt path, through a gate, and across an old cemetery in order to attend Primary at the Ruth Street building each week.  Once Mom had a car, we used to take kids to and from Primary.  That old car was great and sometimes we would have like fourteen kids in that car.  Of course, that was before you needed a seat belt for each child.  No wait, there were no seat belts in that car.
