Back in Time - Under the Stars
 |
| cousins sleeping under the stars approximately 1955 or 1956 |
It wasn't typical for the roll-away to be placed outside, so the cousins must have wanted to "sleep under the stars."
My sister, Marilyn, is the girl on the bottom right in the photo. I think the other girls were our cousins who lived in Lance Creek, Wyoming and later in Brush, Colorado. Maybe Marilyn will leave a comment and add some information.
Throughout my childhood, my two sisters and I slept together in a double bed. The bedroom was small and didn't have a closet until I was in high school. Before that, we hung our clothes on the back of the bedroom door and shared a small dresser.
Must have seemed like a fun adventure at the time. My parents let us "camp out" in the backyard on occasion, but we slept in a tent.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun. I shared a bedroom with my sister until I was 8...she was 16.
ReplyDeleteThat photo is simply adorable, they must have had a long day full of adventures for them to be so tuckered. I shared a bedroom with my brother and sister when my family lived in California in tiny rental houses for a few years, apparently it was a challenge to get us to all settle down every night.
ReplyDeleteAwwww...sleeping kids! Too cute
ReplyDeleteI remember sleeping on the porch at the great-aunt's house in the summertime. It was MUCH cooler out there with a breeze off the bay. The house was stiffling hot ALL summer.
and you turned out just fine!!
ReplyDeleteI love that image of them sleeping toe to toe outside!!
What a great image its a keeper
Fun! I slept under the stars on camping/hiking/backpacking trips, and I remember one birthday party with an outdoor slumber party... Good times.
ReplyDeleteThat picture is a prize. Four girls finding a comfy way to share a bed under the stars.
ReplyDeleteThe three sisters in a double bed...must have been cozy. A simpler time.
What a fun memory for me. Me and my cousin used to sleep under the stars.
ReplyDeleteI was the oldest girl followed by two boys so I had my own room and my own bed..they had to share and had twin beds. I love to sleep out of door if the bugs are not too bad...I love looking at the sky. Great old photo! :)
