Sunday Slide

You might think this is a strange picture for a Sunday Slide,

 but let me tell you what I remember.

1. Always having a Saturday night bath for church on Sunday.

2. Yellow vinyl dining chairs that stuck to your bare legs.

3. Sitting in said vinyl chairs to watch TV.  Who ever heard of sitting on a sofa?

4. Leaning over the vinyl chairs to watch TV like Sue and Jeff are here. 

    That's what you do when your TV is  located in the dining room.

5. Staring at the TV the same way my kids do. 

    Anyone else still have nightmares from watching "Land of the Lost?"

6. That lovely carpet--even in the kitchen. Please explain the logic of a carpeted kitchen?

7. The mid-century modern decor. Apparently mint green trim goes with everything.

8. Always the paper grocery bag on the kitchen counter for a garbage can.  Why?

10. Crunchy candy cake decorations that Mom always put on our birthday cake. 

      I think that is what I'm snacking on in the picture.

There. Not bad for one picture. 

Wasn't that fun? Now I'll give YOU a turn!  

You get ten points for each little memory you can add for the following picture.  Ready? Set? Go!!!!

Sunday Slide

Once again, no time to write this week.  

But I figure the least I can do is give my family some more pictures.

Who can name all these kids? I think I can!  But what is the center of attention here???

 I think there's a few old neighbors out there 

that might remember these blasts from the past.

Matt and the girls?

Remember making clothesline forts? And remember the drinking fountain?

This was my favorite shirt ever. I'd still wear it if I could. 

What's the deal with the hair, girls?  I know mine was a homemade job.  

What's your excuse?  Hee-hee! ;)

There's more where that came from.  I really need to dig out some more!!!  

Sunday Slide

I've gotten a sweet request for another edition of Sunday Slides.

This one is for you, Sue -- a few vacation slides in random order.

Bring back memories??? Hope you like it.  

(I'll be waiting for that comment you promised!)

I think this is the picture you were thinking of...

Sunday Slide: Celebrity Look Alike

Is it Jack?

Or is it Joel?

You decide.

Christmas Slides For the Family

I don't know about you guys, 

but I'm dreaming of a white Christmas!

Brrrr...it's cold out there!  Time to take your memories inside to warm up!

There's no place like home for the holidays!
I hope you enjoyed the memories of Christmas at home.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a
goodnight!

Sunday Slide

What's everybody looking at?

Do you remember this "event?"

I remember that mom was very sentimental about that tree trunk 

because of all the little hands that held on to it as they crossed over the creek.

Remember that velour couch?  I can practically feel it!

And I spy a familiar looking race track...Joel's?

This is a classic Dad picture.  He's got his standard "uniform" of khaki, plaid, and the hat.

So handsome. Always doing something.  I always thought he could do anything. Anything!

The only times I remember him sitting were to eat, read the paper, 

or read The Banner.

Mom wanted to save a chunk of that trunk for a keepsake.

I wonder if they did?

Sunday Slide: The Rest of the Menagerie

Keet?

Rat?

Awwww... notice Mom's hands. 

 I remember trying to get this little stray kitty to drink.

I think this is a different grey cat.
(pre-braces!)

I believe I named it Pookey.
(groovy carpet!)

Mom despised this cat being in the house.

I remember it being an attack cat.

This one I barely remember.

Funny how quickly our cats disappeared.
(shoulder pads baby!)

I have such fond memories of these baby ducks!

We all remember this guy, right?
See the little ducklings?

Those ducks provided some interesting stories!

So what's missing?

I know there were rabbits, fish, turtles, gerbils, and turtles too.

I have a whole new appreciation for Mom.

Don't you?

Sunday Slides: Name that Dog!

Wish I had time to look for more Rudy pictures!

Hope you enjoyed your dog memories.  More pets coming next week!
