In the back from left to right are Mary Jane, Duane, and Kenny; in the front are Sheryl, Charlotte, and Darleen. The memory of time spent with cousins—whether Easter or July 4 or Thanksgiving (and the Nebraska–Oklahoma game) or Christmas or New Year’s Day—always brings a smile. I hope that these photos of one of the earliest cousin get-togethers do the same.
Before we leave these photos, note that this is the same Lushton farmhouse pictured here and here.* Gone is the wood siding, now replaced by slate. The concrete steps with brick sides is new as well. If I understand correctly, the white picket fence matched the fence on each side of the trellis next to the driveway. Amazing to see the transformation that the farmhouse underwent through the years.
* Update: Thanks to Dad for clarifying that this is the south end of the house, not the west side shown in the earlier photographs. The steps went up into a porch with a wash area, then on into the kitchen. As mentioned earlier, the original kitchen on the north end of the house was turned into Grandpa and Grandma’s bedroom after Grandpa moved the kitchen to the southern end of the house.
