Recently, I discovered an envelope of small photographs saved when my mother died in 2002 - it was hiding in plain sight in the Genea-Cave!
Included in the photo cache was this oldie-but-goodie - little Randy in the Carringer garden sniffing a flower:
My grandparents, Lyle and Emily Carringer, had a beautiful garden in their fenced front yard at 2115 30th Street in San Diego, along with a bird bath. It was a wonderful place to set young Randy out to explore and learn about nature. I loved splashing my fingers in the bird bath. Sometimes I guess I sniffed flowers. Perhaps my mother or grandfather encouraged me to do something cute!
Look at that sailor hat on my head! My father was in the Navy until February 1946. I think that I am almost two years old in this photo, which would make it perhaps the summer of 1945.
