Sepia Saturday for this week.
I can only think of one family story to go with this prompt. . . .
My mom and dad met during WW2. He was in the RAF, she worked at a canteen for servicemen across from a cinema the men would go to on their time off.
After a few visits I would imagine my dad asked if mom would go out walking with him.
That's probably all it was for a while. Taking a bus from the base to the canteen.
Once they started dating he said he use to pick her up with a bike that had a sidecar and a little motor.
I imagine it looked somewhat like this photo. I don't think it was to far to the base near Selby.
It is one thing we don't have pictures off, that little bike and sidecar.
The only family photo I have of motorbikes and my family is this one of my Uncle Leslie.
I never really got to know him, moving to America when I was 1 1/2.
Look like he is really proud of that bike.
Apparently he also owned a car, but no drivers license. I think my dad got to drive the car a bit once he married my mom.

Break between dives.
We spent a lot of time in the late 50's early 60's diving right in.
It usually took place at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri at a place called. . . .
Bonds cabins. We just called the place the cabins at Grand Glaze.
One week there every year for many years.
And jumping right in.
