Blast from the past – so very real Kerbey. The kids without shirts eating separate from the adults – because you know they are just there for as short a time as they can get away with, then it’s back outside to play. And the checker linoleum in the kitchen/dining room. The great big kitchen that can feed at least 14-16 people at the “kitchen” table. The flowered wallpaper on the back wall; the brass legged chairs and back supports; The oval mirror that reflects the kitchen; the short male haircuts high on the neck; the swag lamps hanging from the chain with a retractor ball so the light can be moved up and down; the screen door leading right into the kitchen (this was likely taken in warmer climates as colder areas usually have an entry to prevent heat loss in winter); the sun darkened faces and necks.
Love it Kerbey – like a Norman Rockwell painting. D

Nobody will accuse you of not paying attention. You’ve got half a short story already written. All you need is dialogue!

Paul pretty much said it all. Only thing missing from the picture is the smell. Could be anywhere Sunday.

Yeah, what Paul said.
I always thought the kids’ table was an insult when I was a kid, and the best idea ever when I got too old for it. Go figure, Kerbey.
