Gorilla Girls

I remember the day this picture was taken. In Troutville we had a very cool babysitter named Beanie, yes Beanie. I can't remember her last name, but I know Mom and Dad know it because Beanie's large family went to St. Paul's Episcopal Church with us in nearby Fincastle, Va. and they owned horses. Beanie brought this giant stuffed gorilla for us to play with on a Saturday night when she stayed with me, Linds, and Katherine and John Glass who were staying with us with their parents John and Nancy. I also remember Beanie bringing us a bag of Tootsie Pops that Linds and Katherine obviously have with our wonderful sweet cat Piper Paw strolling by on the left.
