"Play Date" at the Eller Home...

     Here is the Eller Home.  Judging from the scene, it's a week-end in 1966.
     On the porch from left to right is Kathleen Eller Little, Rufus Gilbert and Richard Hayworth.  Wayde (left) and I are on the steps with Rose, Michael and Sam Little in the yard.

Off To Camp...

This is Wayde and Me before going to Raven Knob Scout Camp.  That's Ruby and Grace, Rose and Mark with us.

Jeff...

Here are The Regulars (Wayde, Rose and me) on the Eller Farm with Jeff. 

    





     Jeff was Henry and DeEttte's Collie.  Wayde and I rode, yes rode, the poor beast as toddlers.  He was proof that everything good you hear about Collies is true.  He gave Wayde and Me a great companion and loyal sidekick at the Eller Farm. 

Wayde and Doug at the Eller Home...

     As children, Wayde and I spent more time with Henry and DeEtte during the Summer than we did with our Parents.  
     We had "forts" and "houses" in the woods and the run of the place.  There probably isn't three square feet on the Eller Farm we can't tell you a story about from our escapades.

     When we got older, maybe 7 or 8. Grandpa Henry would to give us each a quarter to go over the Tom and Hattie's Store.  There we'd trek ever the hill to buy Soda and Moonpies.  If one knows the trek, can you imagine letting kids that young make that hike alone, today?
