Saturday's Old Photo

This photo was taken in a house we lived in on Liberty Dr. in Wheaton, IL. We lived in this house for about a year while my dad was a student at Wheaton. I attended first grade while we lived there.

The children in the photo are my sister and I—she’s in front on the right and I’m in the middle of the back—and the three Mainprize children—Debbie on my left, Danny on my right, and Susan in front beside my sister. These were the children my sister and I played with most often. Their father worked at Scripture Press as a writer and my dad worked in the shipping department, but I don’t think that’s how we met their family.

Given my sister’s outfit, I think it’s safe to assume this photo was taken sometime in the summer. My mother’s notes on the back say that this was a slumber party. I remember spending one warm summer night with the Mainprize children in the big backyard of this home catching fireflies to carry around in old jars. Do suppose we did that right after we posed for this photo?
