I thought this movie clip #blastfromthepast was appropriate for the season…
Yep…this is me…1964 I think…I still have nightmares about Scotch tape 😉
(Dad was holding the 16mm movie camera while mom inflicted the torture).

Ok, I must be out of my mind for posting this…
(yeah, that's me in the middle… what's up with that blond hair?)
I thought this #blastfromthepast would fit nicely as we zoom into the Christmas season.
…about 1967, I think…me with my two older brothers… great guys with great families. Happy Thanksgiving all!

This is 1960, 3 years before I entered the world.
Mom holding my big brother shortly after she & dad adopted him.
He's been a school teacher for many years, taught me how to snow ski and wake board when we were younger… and it's still fun when we get the family together (sadly, we lost mom in 2005).

I'm not sure which national park this is from…it's before I was a twinkle in mom & dad's eyes! Circa 1957 I think…shortly after they were married.

For today's #blastfromthepast , I hope it's ok if I re-share a pic I posted about 6 months ago.
+Kalebra Kelby's cute story of Yittle's first "big girl' eye exam (see that post at https://plus.google.com/u/0/107430637753481876221/posts/VKjfYrd8DAg ) reminded me again of my mom…(who we lost in 2005).
Mom was born in Mexico where my grandfather and grandmother had set up a missionary medical clinic. Grandpa knew early on that mom had poor vision, and at 18-months old, he ground the lenses to make her very first eyeglasses.
(how he knew what prescription to use for a toddler is beyond me!)
This is mom at 3-years old (1934).
Grandpa would have loved the technology we have today…we have many of his 16mm movies from the 1930s, as well as a variety of old cameras (including 3-D), and he developed a number of revolutionary devices to assist with orthopedic surgery.
Sadly, he died in 1966 before all the real techie fun began, and before I was old enough to really know him.
