I recently came across some very old photos of wheat harvesting near Shandon 1895-1904 time period. I'm pretty sure these were in Aunt Tootsie's storage. One has Phillip's stamp on the back.
Family
My great grandfather.
Found a few shots of Peter McMillan as a younger man.
Found some shots of grandpa Ted that I hadn't seen before.
Here's an newspaper clipping
Came across some shots of Grandma Inez's side of the family. This first photo is of William Harry Byrne who worked in the San Francisco Fire Dept.
Lynda and Leo went down to Carmel to drink some coffee and watch the Poodle Day Parade. If you didn't know, Carmel is a hot spot for poodles. Here’s a few shots of the scene.
So, we've got a new Junior Guard. I was one back in the early 70's. Brad was one in the 1980's. Now we've got a new one. It's a huge program with at least 60 9 year olds. They don't do pillow fights anymore but I see lots of good discipline and it gets used on me when we play games... e.g., "ok, I'm the captain and Lynda is the LT and you drop and give me 10".
We helped out with homework this year on Wednesdays. We picked the kids up from their half day, brought them back and worked on reading, math, bike riding, scooters, skateboards, tree climbing, baseball, etc. Here's a few shots.
When not in individualized study, we go outside.

Tom McMillan, much loved husband, father, brother and 6th grade teacher passed away on Sa
Dad passed away this past Saturday, February 22 at 10:44.
I'd been taking care of him these past few years. I was with him when he passed.
The past few years had been hard. He'd been getting weaker and his cognition worse. But we found some fun to have this past year.
In early summer, I took a week off and loaded him in the truck each day. We went to my office BBQ out at DeLavega, ate some Betty burgers, checked the surf and drove through the neigborhoods he knew as a boy.
