Looking Back Picture

While looking for something yesterday, I came across this picture of my brother, Dana, and my cousin Claude Walker’s wife, Lorraine.  Taken at my rental house on Rose Street in Port Townsend. I’m thinking 1989 because of the  baby bottle on the table by Dana.  On the other hand, why hadn’t I changed the calendar on the wall? Catie was born May 31^st in Puyallup and didn’t come to stay with me until June so perhaps this is 1990.  Looking over the picture, I see only a few things still in my possession.  Two little antique rubber cars on the window sill, two little antique spice cans on the kitchen queen cupboard, a green Avon hand cream jar shaped like celery, an old sugar bowl that was my grandmother’s, and a blue pillow my sister made me on the floor. The cupboard is at Jenni’s house now along with an antique jar on top. Don’t have the scanner barely showing behind Dana’s head and don’t have the air filter machine beside him. I still smoked then.  I think that counted cross stitch project near the pillow is something I eventually framed and gave to Jenni. Maybe Mary.  That round black thing on the table might be one of those ashtrays that were called “smokeless”. I remember that couch. Had a matching loveseat and we had it in our house on 20^th & San Juan.  Bought it from Hugh Lytle when he had a furniture store downtown. And that recliner was one the kids bought me. What a surprise that was. Always fun to look back at old pictures.
