 Linda Bird's sixth birthday, March 1950, and right next to her on one side I see Hundred Minutes, and then I believe that's Marta Miller. I never saw her since so happy about white love, and on the sofa Marta Thornberry in blue, and Patty Nichols. There's the birthday cake, and Tulips, and Lucy also dressed in a blue peniforce. I tried to do them in sister dresses for a good long while. That girl was cuddling from the time she was born in Marjorie Jenkins helping with the cake, and there's the A-Benson lovely Bearland, and two little Benson boys were around the table somewhere, and also Beth Jenkins and Anne Thomas. My red curtains were the light of my life for years. There's Molly, Blonde. Stu Simington came over to see us after their children had all departed. In those days Stu was a very constant visitor at 30th place, and Paul Porter was often there too, and Stu was always a favorite of the ladies, age three to sixty. He was especially fond of Lucy. That doll was one of Linderberg's best yes or sixth birthday. There's Paul Porter, always good stories and gay at the accompaniment. There's Zephyr with Lucy and the Pianese. In those days I was a great gardener, and my Pianese were one of my favorite products. The backyard at 30th place, I loved it. Linda and Lucy and sister dresses, and there's that little cousin Rodney and Lyndon against the climbing tile of scarlet, and it was a threesome. I too had one of those pink dresses with a blue braid on it. In fact it still hangs at the ranch in the closet. There's Hunter Minnick and Beth Jenkins and Lucy, and Molly Thornberry. This is Lucy's birthday on the back porch. There's Rodney White helping Lucy open packages. Raggedy Anne, larger than the child who's holding her. Lissy Grant will be somewhere in the group. Lucy's birthday parties were always a happy occasion for all the mamas. We used to have hamburgers with homemade buns and beer at in the backyard, and just have a good time after the children got settled to their place. Four candles, a third birthday, and one to grow on. And back in the yard you'll see my daily lives. And the holly hogs. Molly, Hunter, Lucy. You'll notice she had on the same birthday dress that she wore to Linda's party. I'm afraid I wasn't a very indulgent mother about clothes. Linda Bird helping run the party. Here she is with a great garland of balloons. Little Rodney who stayed with us months of that year. I can almost taste that birthday cake now. Halloween, 1950, Rodney White and Philip Bobbitt, the sons of Lyndon's sisters, Josiefa and Rebecca, and there's little John Connelly, son of Governor Connelly, the little Smith girl. We are at Mr. Bible's Play Park in Austin, Texas. The favorite thing for the children to do in those days when Linda was six and Lucy three. And Halloween was always a big day in our lives. There's Karen and Kellam and Lucy and Philip and Rodney. There's Kathleen Connelly, Nita Louise Kellam. Kathleen in the skeleton suit, Nita Louise in the cowboy costume. There's Lucy, a pink rabbit and two little gnolls looking like Genghis Khan or Tamalaine. The two little Kellam girls and Linda Bird. And there's Robert Brooks and Molly Thornberry. What a handsome pair they were. Ah, Lucy, I could grab you up and pet you. Everybody always could. The mamas went along and had as much fun as the children. And here we are at the professional table. Linda Bird and Kathleen, those two who loved each other so much. All those years, constant companions. Smith girl and Robert. Such a smart boy, so good looking. And there's Gina Deeson and Marietta Brooks. And the little Coleman girl from across the street, Lucy's constant companion in her childhood years. And here we are, the school where Linda Bird went for first grade and second grade. Mrs. Huberich's school in Austin are just about a block from 1901 Delman. She went from September to Christmas. She loved it daily. It was a good indoctrination. And now Christmas, 1950. Linda Bird beginning to get quite flub. I always tried to get in a bright dress for Christmas. And Red Velvet was one of the very favorite charges. That is the picture that we have used so much for years. Our best one, a Getting's Direct Color Photography. And there is a young and radiant Mary Ratter, Linden's top secretary, and Lulu Hagarchild. There is Helen Williams with Linden playing his favorite role of Santa Claus. In a moment, a very resplendent dress. Oh, there comes the doll. Lucy's best gift for that Christmas. And there's Willie Day Taylor. I wonder if that is the doll that Linda Bird later on traded back to Lucy for a large sum. At least she's accused of having done it. Mary assisting Santa Claus. And there's Warren Woodward. He just come to work for more than a year before. Very much a member of the family. Later on, for those two little girls, he had what he laughingly called the Woodward Date Bureau in my best hostess gown. And there comes the party dress. One inch for Linda and Lucy. Two young buses, Mary V and Horace, had not been married too long. And Linden, in front of my manor decorations, I was very proud of them. Those satin stockings that Neva West gave us were part of our lives for many Christmases. They were rather new then. The file on the hearth at 30th place. Always a good gathering point. And here, the end of the day. A long, happy Christmas. Linda and Lucy. There's Paul Porter and Grace Tully. Both frequent visitors. And here, in the depths of winter, beginning of 51. Back yard at 30th place. Lucy had a bit of a lisp in those days and a slightly tongue tied, which just endured her all the more.
