CRANES OF BROCADE AND GOLD

But exquisite covers aren't what makes photo albums valuable: it's what's inside! Here are a few more pics from a GOLDMINE album on one of the bookshelves in Daddy's study.

The caption on the first photo of me should read: "Hey! Where's the steering wheel?" I always wanted to learn to drive, and at the Kadena Carnival always asked Daddy if I could ride the military jeep "train". All the wheels were raised slightly off the ground, and the axles were all connected to the first jeep that actually drove around, but it looked so real.

The next two pix are a pair. These little cars really did have steering wheels; but I seem to be yelling at Janice, in the car in front of me, "You drive with the steering wheel, not with your tongue!"



And in the second picture, "Janice, you're doing it again!" I've heard of kids who draw pictures or take careful aim by sticking out their tongues, but my sister drives that way!

The fourth photo, of all the photos taken of my sister Janice, THIS is probably my favorite. I think it was taken by an uncle in Hawaii.  

Janice will be coming to Okinawa in Dec.; I so want her to want to take a peek at what's available in the "Mini Museum".

What? You're kidding, right? Don't I know the Bible says the tongue, a small member, boasts great things; like a helm, it can drive the whole body?

I forgot she memorized James last year.
