For Diahann

Today is my niece Diahann's birthday. I looked back in my memory (otherwise known as photo albums) and found these pictures.

Diahann, this is for you.

Diahann, and parents Kathleen and John

In this photo Diahann is about eight months old. Although our families did not live in the same town, we lived close enough (by Wyoming standards) to visit each other from time to time. This was in the little house we lived in on the outskirts of Scottsbluff, Nebraska; they lived in Wyoming. Diahann had been having fun petting our kitten, but as soon as I got out my camera she focused on me; I didn't get the shot I wanted, but I like this one, anyway.

Hugh, Diahann, John

Our brother Hugh was at our house that day also. His favorite place to crash was always the floor. That meant he was very handy for Diahann to climb on Uncle Hughie.

So, Diahann, here is a memory piece for you of an occasion you can't remember! And--Happy Birthday!
