It was a good year, and a Day to Celebrate 9/6/66









What ya got here is a trip down 1966 memory lane........................ We celebrate and rejoice in this day tomorrow. The motel room is day one that night. An actual picture of the inside of the room of the Westbank Motel in Idaho Falls. Maybe not "the" actual room and "the actual feet but this is indeed a room from that motel in that very year. Then too the guys with the hat are all the same guys. One of the ones in the lower left of the bunch was indeed close to "the" guy that celebrates this day, 41 years ago. I do wish that it would have been more exactly like that 58 chev above but it was a 58 chev much like that in which we left Pocatello and went North stopping first in Idaho Falls. The next night was West Yellowstone. The pistachio nuts were a favorite of my new bride. Still are. 1966 was year one for us as a new couple. It is well worth celebrating. Other things happened that year in the world. Those other things sort of add to the look back.
