Where were you in '92?

A year after Bonny and Bruce's wedding, the "little girls" were still wearing their dresses - here they are posing in the backyard with the trapped raccoon - we got lots of those it seemed.


Pivotal events in 1992 included Harry's journey to the MTC and Bulgaria to serve his mission.

FHE found us holding a "mock" farewell - complete with a speech from Dad! (Note Cosmos' tail!)

Harry spent time brushing up on his piano skills - and practicing wearing a shirt and tie all day long!

Great to see Mayla, Lennie and Damond at the open house.


Our journey to Provo and the MTC included a stop in Manti to go to the temple there. When Dad and I were first married, we had no money, but we did have a paid for gasoline credit card, so we went to the Manti temple every Friday night. We love that temple.

And of course we visited the Salt Lake Temple.

Saying Good Bye at the MTC.

April found us celebrating Eliza's 9th birthday.



When it's Eliza's b-day, Easter is nearby. Here's Phoebe in all her 15 year old glory!

And visiting San Juan Capistrano for Eliza's mission project - which included her playing "When the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano" on the piano while the parents toured the mission exhibits.

And a Girl Scout trip that included Hannah and Eliza - we went to Santa Barbara on the train.

Camping at Ashland in July probably.

At Ashland with Nebekers, Frances and Grandma Terrill and the VAN! - for the Shakespeare Festival.

Here's Rye, crawling out of his tent. It was a funky camping spot - it was all grassy and sort of in the middle of town - not too isolated, but fun.

This looks like a birthday celebration - either mine or Noah's - or both.

T-ball was part of our lives then too!

These are getting out of order - this is Girls' Camp in '92 - Big Bear I think.

I was famous for my well-appointed tent at Camp - they even named an award after me - the Barbara Terrill Best Tent Award. It's probably been discontinued - especially since they haven't tent-camped for a lot of years!

A shot of Phoebe at camp - and I'm thinking maybe it was Cachuma Lake and not Big Bear.

We celebrated Harry's birthday from afar - and sent him a photo of the event. We got lots of great letters and photos from Harry all the time - but I put them into a book and gave it to him - maybe we can persuade him to do a post? (Or maybe the tides will reverse themselves??) His letters are even in the church archives though!

We went to Davis in the fall, to go to the temple with Paul and to attend his farewell. He went to Chicago.

This, however, is a summer shot - at Goleta when Leslie was here - and so was Betsy - so we all went to see Bonny, who was living in Santa Barbara.

Summertime visit from Alice - with Anne and Grandma Connie joining us.

Grandkids with Great Grandma Connie. See the suave, debonair Karl there in front!!

The Hartmans came to visit that year.

And we took a camping trip to Cachuma Lake - and got acquainted with Gemina - the crooked necked giraffe who just died recently.

Camping at Cachuma Lake.

Joined by Jenny at Cachuma. Phoebe had her permit and drove the van there - at least partways. It was a white-knuckle drive as I recall!!

Primary Christmas Party at the ward.

Christmas as the Monrovia 2nd Ward - or maybe we were still the Monrovia East Ward - anyway, this is Hannah with Lloyd Chrisinger - who was Santa for many years. Lloyd always called me "First Lady" when Dad was Bishop - as in "Hello First Lady, how are you today?"

The beloved Cosmo!!

This was the way the family looked as 1992 drew to a close. I think this was our Christmas card photo that year. It was a good year - and one to enjoy - some very busy and eventful years were ahead of us!!
