Another Vintage Photo

Another old photo from the 50's. My father and my sister Evelyn relaxing in the backyard of the Santa Fe Springs house. Maybe the same day as the previous photo.

You can see that he had not yet completed the wall.He also built that brick BBQ pit in the background. He would eventually build two patios. A small one over the BBQ pit and a then larger one extending from the house. We had a lot of good meals in that backyard.

He also built a large wood shed behind the pit. This is where he took me on the days when I needed to have my attitude readjusted.

He was a pretty handy guy. We had good times in that house. I remember later in life he would joke "I do pretty good for a guy that doesn't know anything!"
