Carolyn's New Years Eve





















The young Brugger family. The photo was poor quality with damage and bad fingerprint smudges. Doreen loves this photo so she asked me to restore it. I have done the best I could with it. This was my gift to Doreen for Christmas.

According to Beckie, this photo was taken at a Relief Society Bazaar in San Antonio. In those days the church did not fund Relief Society so the sisters would spend all year making quilts, toys, food, etc to sell at the annual Bazaar to raise funds for the Relief Society.

Mom and Bernice Hill were in charge of that bazarre. It was at LaVillita in downtown San Antonio. This was taken at the Church on our way to the bazarre. I remember when it was over how tired Mom was. It was the fist time I realized that Mom was vulnerable and could get sick. She was down for a couple days after it was over. In later years when she did something of that magnitude she would be down for weeks or even land in the hospital. I am sure there were others in charge of this but Bernice Hill and Mom seemed to have the most to do with it. We were either at the Hill's or Bernice was at our house while they worked on it.
