Sometimes are garden grows quietly. You look up and suddenly those little seedlings have blossomed into plants. That is the case here. The garden started with Kermit’s sister Lydia Maye Miller. Maye married Lloyd Motter and they had two girls, June and Lois. Lois married Gordon Grohs and they had two children Tom and Nancy. Not much is known about the Grohs except I believe they are still alive. I’ve found records of both Lois and Gordon still together in Sun Lakes, Arizona just south of Chandler and outside of Phoenix. Lois and Gordon had two children, Tom and Nancy. Unfortunately, I have found out little about the Grohs. But that doesn’t mean I will stop looking.

I just love this photo of them. It’s what I call a stair-step photo. Many times they may occur oldest to youngest, but in this case it’s height with Lois and Maye needing to switch places. But from left to right we have Nancy, Tom, Lois, Maye, Lloyd and Gordon. This photo was taken outside Kermit and Eunice’s home. There’s no date on the photo but a former photo of Eunice’s dated 1960 indicated that Nancy and Tom would be visiting the next summer so we might be looking at a photo taken in 1961.

Both Nancy and Tom are wearing Miller farm appropriate clothes. While Nancy is in a dress I’m sure it didn’t slow her down from finding lots of things to explore. Lois is wearing adorable plaid shorts. I just love plaid. Then we come to Maye. I’ve never seen a photo of her as an adult where she’s not in a dress or skirt. She looks comfortable in her print dress. Lloyd looks formal. Perhaps it was a Sunday and they had gone to church earler or if it was a work day he just came from the office. Gordon looks like he’s on vacation and enjoying the day.

While I know little about Gordon, Lois and their children, I find myself wanting to keep a close watch on them to see what information I can find and what they may do next.
