myLOVE: demolition and vintage ads

I spent some time on Sunday with the husband and children helping out with some demolition - an old trailer, circa likely early 40s, with a renovation done circa 1951 - we presume this because there was a layer of newspapers laid down on top of the original lino under the subfloor. (There's something therapeutic about demolition.  Seriously therapeutic - too bad I got wind-burned when even the storm that blew in wasn't enough to break our stride, dangit!)  Twas a fantastic way to spend a Sunday, hanging with Billie and lil bro Joel (the one whose engagement pics were blogged yesterday.)  Last year when we went to Prince George over Thanksgiving we visited two railcars that were specially decorated for Queen Elizabeth's visit to the commonwealth; the newpaper we found had highlights of that very royal visit!  Very very cool!  Some pics to share, and check out Wil's new black hair...

cool stuff! Didn't even recognize Will until after I read the text, and had to go back! Kind of suits him actually.

There was no way to keep any of the papers - hence, the pictures. The trailer itself ahd had its share of unwanted residents, including mice, bees, wasps, and squirrels. The kids knocked down the walls; after that the grown-ups moved the shingles, infested insulation, soiled newsprint, etc. to the dumpster or firepit.

That was such a GREAT day, even though it was raining. Actually kept the dust down. I just love how Francis looks with his wet curly hair... mind if I swipe a picture of him?
