    This is a photo I found recently while digging through the packed boxes at home. That's me with my dad and brother Jeff. I was trying to remember how old I was in this photo and I'm sure I was probably 5, which would have made Jeff 3 or 4. The chair we are sitting on is inflatable furniture. We kids thought that was so neat to have blow-up furniture. The set came with a chair, a sofa (or probably a love seat), and a coffee table. I think it might have also come with an ottoman and an end table, but I'm a little fuzzy on that.

    The really nostalgic thing for me in this photo is the Shakey's hats. We LOVED eating at Shakey's. At the time, they had a band there. It was a hillbilly style band with a washtub bass and everything. I always felt special when we went to Shakey's for some reason. Maybe it is because Mom and Dad both let us feel like we were dining high with them.
