Let's see your old photos

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Great shots, Dyane! And a beautiful wedding pic. Yes - I want to see a mohawk shot too. So you had a Sinead O'conner period?!

Cute shot, Bill. But you look like a Yankee fan there.

Here I am with my brother.

Allison, that place would have been my kind of store as a teen. Thank you on the wedding photo. I got lucky with the photographer, she really captured some beautiful images on that day. I am so grateful to have wedding pictures that I like.

Looking good, Bill!

Come on I put some pretty embarrassing ones. Let's see the gems.

Not too bad, Victor. A lot of guys were getting perms at that time, at least yours was au natural!

I was shaving my head about 6 years before Sinead O'Connor made her debut so it was quite shocking. The world was not yet accustomed to teenagers with extreme hairstyles like we are now. People would slow down in their cars and gawk at me as I walked down the street. Nowadays it would hardly cause a stir.

This was my mom's idea in the 70's; matching plaid capes for we girls. I was about 12 and I look mortified in this picture.

We still pick on her about these capes

OMG I love that picture. I had a plaid cape too with a matching tam o' shanter with the pom pom on top. I wish I had a picture of it. You just brought back memories.

We rarely went away on vacation, Sherry. Our vacation time was spent mostly at the beach on LI.

C'mon Joyce! (Besides, you're jumping the gun on another thread idea I have in mind - Forum Pets!)

Here we are at the beach.

You have the bestest ideas. And you were/are such a cutie.
Threegardeners--that is a classic shot. Real turkey?
Dyanne-That is a great wedding shot. Should be in a magazine.
Onewish--I was dorkey too and had/have the thyroid problems.

Mini me with my crinoline slip (need to clean up this pic)

I would have rather been to the beach. We always went American historical spots and had to learn something.


Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Thanks Joyce. You were very cute too!

Troy, NY(Zone 5b)

I always loved crinoline slips and poofy dresses. I used to twirl and twirl.

Newport News, VA(Zone 11)

Thanks Victor.

Never heard of crinoline. Sounds like a drug.

Newport News, VA(Zone 11)

LOL. Today it would be a drug! It was worn under the skirt to make it pouffy.

Can hardly recognize anybody!!LOL
That was a partridge. I was Dads official fetcher. He said I was better than any hound. When I got old enough to run he'd send me in to flush them out. I'd yell 'bird" and Dad would yell "duck"...which was my queue to dive behind the nearest tree. We used this technique with rabbits too...hehehe...I was official flusher right into my 30"s!!

Newport News, VA(Zone 11)

Sounds like fun! Does Partridge taste like turkey?

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Oh man - I loved the Partridge family!

Newport News, VA(Zone 11)

I'm wondering if it can fly cause otherwise how did it get its big but in the pear tree?

North Augusta, ON

Tastes more like chicken...

Here is one of me in 1981...my Taxi driving days.
