Our childhood pictures

Rudbeckia, Thanks for starting this. It is fun and somehow makes our cyber friendships seem more real than ever.

Now where is Wintermore...Who I picture as a rosey cheeked version on Dennis the Menice full of mischief and fun. And Windsurfer who must have a photo of herself looking innocent after playing some prank...Or Louisa grinning...or
Chama playing with finger paints... or...

yes, and we all look so innocent back then

Coco...I think that is why it was called "the age of innocence"....so cute!! Jo

Wish I had a scanner to send in one of my earlier pics. :(
But I sure am enjoying everyone elses. :)

Ok, here I am as a child, probably about 1949 or 50 with my cat, Tom back in Gary, Indiana

My mother, Bessie Fisher, about 1910.

Wow, you looked like your mom did when you were a little girl! Now, was that cat really big, or were you small? Great picture!

I think that Tom was pretty big, but I was pretty small, too. I must have been between two and three years old at the time. That poor cat must have a special place in kitty heaven for putting up with all that 'love'.

Weezingreens! Excellent pics!

This is me at 17. My Aunt Marguerite took and developed the picture. Boy did I have a lot of freckles back then!

All-American girl! What a pretty smile. :)

A girl & her best friend!

ROFL!!!!!!Weez that cat looks like he'd rather be doing anything else in the world!!!!!

Ginger_H: You had the kind of freckles I wanted! I had the kind that looked like someone had flicked a paint spatula at me! My cruel older brothers told me peanut butter caused freckles, so I tried very hard to stop eating it... but you know a kid has to have peanut butter!

Colie: You and your dog are so sweet! Your dog looks like he had what it takes to keep up with a feisty young girl!

Root: I think Tomcats are more patient with kids than the female cats are... I sure don't know why. I used to dress him up and make him have tea with me... poor thing!

Heeeeere's Howie! Check out those engineer glasses - he still has that pair (minus the earpieces). They so little, maybe 5" wide!

Three Darling Cousins:
l to r
My son, Keith (DH of TnMom), nephew, Michael (son of maryK), my DD, Melinda (weedwalker). They used to be great playmates. One day during a Cowboy-Indians shoot-out...Keith shot Mike...who being the oldest...and knew lots of TV words, kept going when Keith yelled that he was cheating as he had been killed. Mike looked Keith in the eye and said "AWW Keith, It was just a flesh wound"! LMAO!! Jo

Ok folks, there's no party without Punch (as we say in Scotland)

This was me on my 1st birthday, a long, long time ago.

In case you almost burn your eyes out trying to read the message on it: To Aunt Nessie, With All My Love, From, Wee Barry. My Aunt Nessie is my Godmother.

BTW the teddy was called "Cuddles"


"Hard as Nails" Wintermoor

Here's another showing what all tough guys in the Highlands wore then.

My first kilt. Have a look at the buckled shoes, crackers eh?


"Highlander" Wintermoor

....and for sure isn't he a handsome wee laddie?? Jo

RedRose, Britney Spears will be lucky to look like YOU at age 26! Great pictures of your parents and grandparents. And that car...the photos on this thread sure bring back the memories. My folks had a car very similar to that one.

Ok WR maybe you are right Britney might be look alike me when she turn 26 maybe not.
I could not find the picture of me when I was little girl when I was 8 but still keep looking for it.

I really so intresting all the photos here so great. Thank for sharing with us all. Come on more coming. =)

Oh GW you are so cute with that picture look the same still like you are now not much change and all others are so cute too and beautiful young ages , I really enjoyed it.
=D
Hope there will have more coming up the photos here.

This is so much fun! You saw me at 17...here I am at 2.

OK...one more for the show. In this picture I'm 26 or 27 with my daughter,Erika.

This thread is just so wonderful, uplifting and warm. Ginger, your daughter looks just like you! Everyone pictured in this thread is precious, cute, innocent, charming -- just what one would expect of the good people here. Thank you again for starting this thread, Rudbeckia.

My last picture,I promise.

Colie, how sweet that is! Are you sitting on your very own pony, and what was his or her name? You remind me of a little Annie Oakley.

No,but-I would have loved to have had a pony.
Back in the 50's some man went from town to town taking pictures of all the kids on this pony.Everybody I knew had their picture made on this pony.By the way I use to love to watch Annie Oakley on Sat. mornings along with all the other great westerns.Oh,my-I'm old.

Then we're both old, because I loved them, too. Annie Oakley, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, The Lone Ranger, Sky King...ah, those were the days!

I actually met the Cisco Kid and Poncho once when I was wee. Got an autographed 8x10 out of him too, just lost it somewhere along the way. Weren't those just the greatest way to start you weekend? Or end it, Sunday evenings, with Disney, Lassie, Gunsmoke and then, if you were really, really good and didn't have school the next morning, Paladin. Nostalgia's a great thing. And these wonderful old photos are a great way to get to know ya'll.

Wintermoor, I must say, the only guy I've seen look better in a kilt is Sean Connery.

To tell you how dumb I was, I thought that Paladin's first name was "Wire" !! Sorry youngsters, you had to have seen the show and Paladin's business card to understand this.

Oh, Paladin! Lassie! Chester and Marshall Dillon! Hand me a hankie!

The Lone Ranger & Tonto-'Kemo sabe'.
Wagon Train with Robert Horton as Flint McCullough.
mmmmm-it's nice thinking back on these good old times.

Oh I love to watch Annie Oakley and she is so beautiful little girl until old still beautiful lady always. i like watch old movies. Also my favortie watch Shirly Temple!

So I'll just throw in and tell ya, I have an old, old record album of "Hoppalong Cassidy" it doesn't play too well anymore, but you can still turn the pages of the book when his horse whinnies!
