Evidence of the Wheeler Family Traditions

The name of this website is That Salad. And most of you reading this know why. If you don’t, you need to read this page before continuing.

As we were doing our weekly scanning, we ran across some photos that reinforced to me just how deep our traditions are ingrained in us.

That salad: on the table in that white Melmac serving bowl. The stuff was good then, and it’s good now!

Darlene, James Jr., Paul, Evelyn Wheeler, my awesome Aunts and Uncles (Dad’s brothers)

Brothers gotta have fun…. with That Salad.

My first birthday (59 years ago) appeared in our post last week. Here it is again…

Kimberly Wheeler 1st birthday 1958

See that cake? Angel food. With that icing Dad always loved. (wink, wink) I wonder why Angel food cake has always been my favorite birthday cake…

Here is my 4th birthday. Angel food cake… Wasn’t I the cutest?

Kim Wheeler 4y.o. w/ Angel food!

Here I am on my 30th birthday. Angel food cake. (This one was NOT from a box…)

The previous pictures of That Salad also fit into this category – making time for family. My Dad’s brothers (above) always had a great time together!

I also had some of the best aunts and uncles in the world – these two aunts were my Mom’s sisters!

My Aunt RuthAnn & I hanging out…

And my Aunt Karen & I helping Sully build a house. I think Dad still has this blue wheelbarrow and probably that shovel, too!
