Before Your Time

Although only Mama and Aunt Vena would remember this cottage, it seemed important to include it as background of our family. I had only seen this cottage in the slides Daddy had. When I went to Aunt Vena's in 2000 to copy pictures, this was an unexpected treasure.

Mama said the only source of heat was the fireplace. It was actually a summer vacation cottage, but the slide we had was of this cottage in the snow. It was beautiful!

The picture of Mama and Daddy isn't from Newport, but I'm guessing it was taken about the same time period. Liked seeing them along with the photos of the cottage.
