Memory My footprints appear on one of the steps at the back door. I remember well when Daddy imprinted them in the wet cement when I was about three years old.
Other Information My father and maternal grandfather built the house on weekends and in their spare time. My parents put the sidewalk from the front door out to the road as well as around the side of the house so I could have a place to rollerskate.

Changes to House Added a patio in the back of the home as well as all the landscaping, including the Black Japanese pine trees flanking the driveway. I recall that the landscaping cost $3,000 and was designed to require the least amount of yard work.
Memory Playing on the island in the sand and along the beaches when very few homes were there.
Other Information Although we resided on deep water and had a small pier, we only owned a boat for a very short time and never really enjoyed being on the water much; however, we liked our unobstructed view of Broad Bay until homes were built across the street. We were about the seventh home built on the island, and I recollect many of the first families who resided at Bay Island: the Butlers, Sundts, Abbotts, Donaldsons, Deloaches, Shaws, Wares, Humphreys, Sweeneys, and Tarrants.
