Lowell MA Christmas @ the Murphy house & Chatham MA Cape Cod Monomoy Island

This was Christmas in the 1960's. I remember that bed! Nana bringing in her white fruit cake & Grandpa Eddie waving holding her apple pie. That was a nice car.

My grandmothers use to compete with their cakes on the holidays. How long did my grandmother age the fruit? Who knows.

Look at the clothing. Watching my grandmother picking up bags in the living room with a butt in her mouth is precious. I really remember all that like it was yesterday!

Oh I'm the one in the bikini with the brown hair acting like a monkey. We were on the cold side of Monomoy Island and you could just jump right off to the deep part.

That bikini fell down the drain @ my neighbors outside shower. Ah those sand sandwiches.

I pretended to be helpless in fishing of course and got help from Frank Julian a family friend who I thought was hot back then.
