For almost 10 years, there has been one particular picture I have been looking for as I combed through the several Morey archives of pictures.
This is not intended to suggest there are many family pictures, far from it. Rather our family pictures have been flung to various different hordes as each family member (including me) has ravaged the few surviving family scrap books.
Now after an exhaustive search, and repeatedly annoying each of my way cool sisters, I found the rarest of family pictures. Most people won’t care, but anyone who went with us on the epic story of Dad’s “the sandbox” will instantly appreciate this find…
One unfamiliar with this story might innocently ask themselves a few simple questions…
Why is there a broken down pickup truck full of sand on a flatbed trailer? Or, how big was this sandbox that it needed that much sand? Or, Pat must have found some bargain to get have gotten all that sand. : )
You may particularly note Becky’s way cool pants. : ) ↓

I have to say thanks to my sister Sue who found this little treasure in Seattle, WA. She also gave me a few others that I thought I would post as part this week’s flashback Friday. Thanks Sue : )
I confess, I am not sure why Sue is topless in both pictures. I can say she was the one who gave them to me : ) ↓ ↑
Sue holding Debbie soon after Debbie was born, probably in January 1980. I don't think there are many other pictures (if any) of Debbie this young ↓
Me swinging Libby and Sue. I think we were at the park just down the road from the Church. This was probably taken in 1979. Note my tough guy shirt and my various muscles. ↓
The whole Morey kid clan - Christmas time in 1979. ↓
Sue always had terrific curls : ) Though I know she hated them for a long time. I think this picture was taken at Christmas in 1979. You also may notice how Sue's pants almost blend completely with the plaid colored couch. Only the finest plaids in the 1970s could do that. : ) ↓
Looks like Sue heading off for School. Probably in 1979. I can tell because she isn't smiling ; ) ↓

I think that the swings were at Hamlin Beach. I know it may sound crazy but I think I remember that.
