The Door to December 14th, 2022Ode to Ellie

Dear Adventeers,
Peripheral relatives affect our lives as in many ways. My maternal great aunt Eleanor White lived above my grandparents at 288 Bunker Hill. She was an enigma in many ways and I’m sorry I never got to know her as well as her could have. She was wonderful at Christmas and one time she fell asleep on my parent’s bed and all of our guests’ piled coats on top of her not knowing she was there. A breathing mound awoke and went back to 288. The past is weird and fuzzy, but full of wonderful memories.

Ode to Aunt Eleanor of 288 Bunker Hill
Things I enjoy about this photograph…
- My Aunt Ellie is in it.
- I was giving the camera a stink face
- There is a can of Sanka in the foreground, which someone received as a gift
- My sister’s sweatsuit
- The collars on my shirt
- The puffy blue coat beside the chair that was a gift for me
- The stereo on the cabinet table
- The tapes on top of the stereo (Michael Jackson, Men at Work, Billy Joel, Kenny Rogers, Perry Como, Willie Nelson, Perry Como, Mitch Miller)
- My sister’s expression
- The wallpaper meant to look like paneled wood
- The sun catcher hanging in the window
- The alarm clock in front of the stereo
- The reindeer decoration
- The garland under the reindeer decoration indicating the reindeer’s power of flight
- The segmented Merry Christmas Decoration below the reindeer decoration
- That this pic represents what Christmas looked like in my home circa 1983-1986
