Cute schicken!
Harper was figuring out how to harvest the poppy seeds.
Let's see your old photos
cute baby pic Harper.... love all those Sherrie!!
victor only you could get away with commenting on the pics of sherrie - i just sat here said wow and removed my fingers from the keyboard :) was wondering about that first picture too:)
Sherrie, those are great.
Harper I def agree, you can tell those are your pics.
not exactly - don't ask anymore questions :)
Bill, your apprehension to speak is making me laugh.
Sherrie, fun pics!
i've learnt to let victor do the typing most of the time :)
Sure, let me take the heat!
Victor - this is a wonderful thread! I don't think I have any old photos here....they are in Fla., I think......but I'll look around.
What is so striking to me is how I can see so much of each of you that I have met in person in your early photos! I would know Victor anywhere, and Allison and Harper and Sherrie and Celeste and Marilyn! Victor - your wife is a true beauty! Allison, Jen and Harper....such attractive shots of each of you!!
I really love the bridal shots. Dyane - that wedding shot of your face is stunning! And JoAnn - that's a very lovely shot of you with a great write-up. I wish the bridal columns still included the details as they used to do.
Maria - you were and still are a very beautiful woman! In fact, I find your mature beauty just as lovely as your youthful shots!
Bill - you look just as I pictured you. Bet you haven't changed much!
Victor - I think you are even more handsome without hair!
And Sherrie, Sherrie, Sherrie.......Oh, My!! Who needs tomatoes when you have those, those....ummmmm ....[someone else can fill in the rest.]
Fun thread! I'd have to do some scanning to get some baby pics, but here's one I already had scanned. I'm the one on the left, about 10 years old, at my grandparents house on Lake Champlain (VT). My best friend and I had just discovered that the soil was pure clay. We spent hours and hours that summer making "pottery" which we'd "bake" in the summer sun and then paint. She still has one of the pieces we made; who would have thought it would hold up for 25 years! Such good memories....
what a cool photo Songs!!
adorable!
Great photo, Christina!
Thanks, Louise!
Cute pic, Christina!
Sherrie, those photos were great---my friends & I posed with liquor bottles at that age---what a statement, but no drinkers out of the 4 of us! Maria, those photos of yours are a part of history. Joy, loved the braids---my Mom always kept me in braids! Victor---too cute! At least no sailor suit---my son hates that photo! Harper, your gardening began early! Stopped at Mom's today, but did not step foot into the attic---too hot!
Oh, JadaJoy, I forgot to tell you how much I loved your crinoline photo! And I also forgot to mention 3G's partridge shot and bookreader's adorable "cape girls" photo. My Mom used to do the same thing to us. She'd go wild on her sewing machine and we'd have to wear the results, AND get a horrid "Tony" perm for Easter every year. Agedgardener - lovely shot of you and your friend as well. I just went all the way back through these and really enjoyed them all. Victor - that shot of your Godfathers Meeting Ancestry is really terrific, as are the family vacation shots. Such fun!
mom never did braids, kept us in bobs instead. I had to learn to braid my own hair.
Thanx Donnie
My mom was a sewer too and it was the 60's so you can imagine, the polka dots and jumpers and those halter tops with the little bloomers, jeez, and the worst part was my sister and I were stairsteps so she dressed us like twins. So,not just one bad homemade outfit running around, but two. I'm NOT posting those pictures :-)lol
Donnie, thank you, as old as I am I still appreciate compliments
Songs, what a wonderful picture with your friend, my girls also had braids.
Thanks all. I lived in those braids as a kid. Probably because it was easiest to take care of during those summers at the island when all we did was swim and play. Good times. My grandparents sold the house a few years ago. I was very sad to see it go, but the area had changed a lot from when I was a kid. The surrounding hills that we used to roll down curled up in giant tires were replaced with large houses and it just wasn't the same as the old country farm feeling from my childhood. Sometimes progress is not a good thing.
Here's my senior picture - love the 80's hair (except it was '90)
Wedding picture - which was only 2 years later...
...and it is still very stylish today with the young people,
You make a very handsome couple.
I agree with the so-called "progress" Joy---we spent a lot of time at Mascoma in Enfield, NH---a lot of the cottages are gone, & McMansions are in their place. Not the same!
A child bride, Joy?
Almost - 19. He was 24 (but looked 15)
can you still dunk on him?
huh?
that pic looks like you are much taller than him - dunk is a basketball term.
Ah - that's what I thought you meant but wasn't sure. He's on one knee and I'm sitting on him. That being said, I AM about an inch taller.
It does look like you are about 8 inces taller. I wondered if you were knee sitting.
Or babysitting.
Too funny! I used to have the wedding picture in my office, but after getting so many comments about how much taller I was, I took it down. Here's a more recent picture. As you will see, he grew taller and older! I, of course, still look 19. (A girl can dream, right?)
You still look very young.
aaaaaaawwwwwwwwww
still look pretty young to me
Great-looking couple.
Neither one of you has really aged. Nice shot.
