teepee

I remember one time our grandad (on mother's side) came to visit when we were young. He made us a tepee out of wood and tarpaper. I think it was down towards the end of the driveway. It smelled of tar inside. Isn't tarpaper carcinogenic? I don't think grandad suspected that back then. I came to hate him later, for reasons unrelated to the tepee. I just remembered there are pictures of the tepee. They were on mini-slides from an old 110 camera.


You can see the edge of my mother's dog Casey on the right side of the picture above.




In the picture above, I'm holding my dad's bow saw. He had that saw for a long time. We cut a lot of wood with it. Cutting things with a saw was good fun for us.
