Thanks, Oleo and Beely
What a response, Oleo and Beely! I'm somewhat surprised that anyone took time to respond or even have read the article in reference to the table setting, Steve Collins and I took on this challenge to help promote the Mc Henry Mansion and to preserve the history of Modesto where we all grew up. Thank you for your kind words and support. We are only one of over forty tables that will be on view October 20th at St.Paul's Church (corner of Oakdale Road and Brigsmore Ave.). The following day will feature a luncheon at these creatively designed tables which should be a fun experience. Thank you, Oleo and Beely!
Beely, how I remember the buggy shed, the out houses behind the shed, and the pump house out in the right hand corner of the school ground at Fairview School.
However, can't remember the "first kisses" behind the pump house. Do you know something that we don't? Who was she? Yeah! As Mom would have said....Hope she wasn't an Okie girl.
Yeah Beel, I can remember playing "Annie Over" over the buggy shed and I'm sure some won't believe kids hiding down in the holes of the outhouse so they wouldn't get caught. As a matter of fact, I bet most of our kids would not even know the game of "Annie Over".
Beel, thanks for the memories that you keep bring up, Also, if you are interested in a table setting display, I'm not sure that a crane and steel beams and welding rods as toothpicks would work to well in the space provided. However, give some thought to a "Barn Theme" of some of your art work and remember, as Steve and I have, you can do this..........It's not only for the ladies.......
