I'd like to post a couple pics of a new grand son. Little Ignatius Philip Erickson

He was born 3/27 to Joe and Katrina.
And then all 4 'younguns' together.

This would be Theo, Katia, Iggy, and Eli, dear little children.
It is wonderful to see pics of everyone,
brings a smile to the face and a way of 'seeing' each other again.
Post more pictures.... :)
Love to all, Marsha

Photos from the Distant Past

I found these B/W negs in an old family folder that had been tucked away for many years. I was able to shoot the negs on light table and convert to prints in Photoshop. I was attending Art Center at the time, We must have had a get-together with Jack's Family when Tom was in town. I think the photo was taken in the Fall of 1975.

Myerchin Spring Reunion

Guys,
We all had a really great time. Jack is doing well after his surgery.  Tom, Marsh, Naomi, and I went to the Gene Autry Museum in Los Angeles as a day outing. All in all a great reunion. And as you can see, we are all still alive.

Papa Phil's visit to Southeast

Happy New Year Folks. I must confess that I have had a really busy year and so have not had time to get to this blog. My intention is to post a picasa album of my family's trip to Southeast Alaska this summer and share some of the great times we had spreading my dad's ashes in places that he loved.

Please go to the link above and see the pictures of our adventure. I hear from my mom that all the uncles are doing fine. Bill and Jack have changed all their bad eating habits and are doing a lot better. We have chickens so if you every need organic eggs let me know. Ha ha.

Life is good in Anchorage, we have a ton of snow and the kids can jump off the roof of our 2 story house. We are skiing a lot and love the longer days that the spring holds.

Hope this works! Lots of love Germaine

Papa Phil would be proud...

Thought the Myerchin's would enjoy this...Darby Miller (Papa Phil's grandson) won the best quote in Alaska...

But facts are facts and this year Don's crown passes to an anonymous kid who tricked and treated in College Village, dressed as a protestor carrying a tombstone-shaped sign that read: "OCCUPY HAL-LOWEEN The Redistribution of Candy Begins Now."

The anonymous kid is Darby Rial Miller. Wouldn't Phil be proud!

my old house in peham

Good evening all, here are a few images of my old house in Perham.
It is still standing and I think it will be moved, but so far it is still on its foundation. The two house to the left of it are on huge I beams ready to be moved.
Some houses have been burned down, other just demolished, and there are a few standing. I only know of 2 people that are not selling to "old man Tuffy." I hope my old house has a good fate.

70th Birthday

I had a great 70th Birthday with family and relatives.
