When things were simpler...time for a photo thread!

[retromom]

Since all of this political stuff has gotten us a little uptight, I thought we could wax nostalgic and post a few favourite pics.

Find something that takes you back to when all you had to worry about was getting home for supper! As Archie and Edith would say...."Those were the days..."

I'll start with a pic of my sister and I showing off our cowgirl outfits (please note the Superskates strategically placed on our boots). See, I was practicing to be a Texan long before I became a Texan! ;-)

Do you feel the tension releasing? Now, breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Feel better? I do.

Good idea Venus thank you. Boy look how cute you are as a cowgirl! I'll have to find some old ones of me later to post.

What year was the Ghia?

 

[retromom]

This one's for Gyrafoam!! Remember this place?

Here is an Easter pic of my sister and I in front of the Lincoln Road Mall in Miami Beach. You could never tell that we fought like cats and dogs! I'm sure I pinched her shortly after the photo was taken (yeah, I was that kind of kid).

Here is my brother and I. I am on the back of his fire truck. This was taken in August of 1960 I just turned 2. My dad was stationed at Fort Knox Kentucky. The quarters we lived in had a GE filter-flo washer and matching electric dryer, I do not know the model but I do know the activator top and filter pan were the GE peachy-orange color and the GE garbage disposer was the same color scheme.

With my parents and sister Cathy

Mom's bringing some baby pics over tomorrow...

 

[retromom]

This is such fun!!

What an adorable bunch you all are!! I really enjoy seeing those pics from the past!!

Lee: that 57 Chevy was great! I remember sitting in it and playing "car" in the driveway. My dad would tell me not to step on the accelerator or I would flood the engine! I'll post a pic of what we traded her in for!

Oh Chuck, that Citation!! I remember those all too well. Weren't they what the automotive industry considered "K Cars"? I also thought that they were front wheel drive. I'll bet there are two or three still in use today! LOL

Keep those awesome photos coming! You are bringing a lot of smiles to all of us!!
