I told her, "This is a picture of our house when you were just born. That was back when we had those two big trees in the yard that you see in this picture."

That was back when the neighbor's house was yellow, so that's why we still call it 'the yellow house'."
Dorothy, looking at the picture, chimed in: "That was back when there were words in the street."
