The Hard Hat Years

What was with the hard hat and underwear outfit? Do I remember correctly that when he and mom went to the bank to make the final house payment, that is what he wore? The rest of the group looks much better: Dad and Daisy, Rick, Scott, Steve, Pat, Brody, Mom. The picture was taken in the backyard in Tempe. Someone tell me what year it is....

The Davitt Dinner Table

Before Mom and Dad bought the Danish teak dining table and chairs, this was the dinner scene. Russell Wright American Modern dinnerware, crocheted glass cozies, Yellow Ice Formica kitchen chrome table set, and Eternally Yours silverplate service by Rogers Brothers.

This is in the dining room of the house dad bought in Falls Church. Pretty Patty is playing with her rosary beads. Maybe it is Sunday?
