Tubing at Trapp Farm Park

This picture was taken in Dec of 1990. Anne was here visiting for a month. She had such a good time with our family.

This was her last night here. This is Trapp Farm Park which has a large hill. They provided giant inner tubes which were used to slide down the hill. Anne was determined to go down the hill on a tube. I had to put my foot down that this was just not possible. As you know she had many broken bones in her lifetime. I was so scared she would hurt herself and I would have to put her on the plane all broken up. I knew she would have loved it, but, I was so worried about her injuring her spine which always hurt.

This was the same trip that my dad called me at about 1 in the morning (mind you I was sound asleep and very confused) he said "Diane, where is Anne"? I told him "I put her on the plane". (The flight I got was non stop so there would be no confusion regarding transfer). He insisted he wasn't finding her anywhere! Finally, he found her, they had put her behind a post and he wasn't seeing her from where he was.

Later Anne told me the cleaning crew came on the plane to begin cleaning and found her still on the plane. Apparently the crew forgot to take her off the plane!
Before she left I made several loaves (almost a full suitcase) of bread. She froze it and enjoyed homemade bread for a long time. She really appreciated treats like that.
