My dad asked that I copy and print some photos for him.
I'll share those here with you.
This is a photo of my dad and my Aunt Elaine (his sister) August 1981. My dad is a year younger than I am now! (holy moly) He has the bluest eyes. I remember as a kid all my friends commenting how handsome he is. I bet that jacket is polyester! I wonder if Grisley Adams was the popular show at the time...
This photo is my mom with her brother and sister December 1956 -- Aunt Lorraine, Uncle Bob, and my mom (who must be about 21). She always dresses so stylish. I love the fabric on that blouse. I bet those curtains are made of bark cloth, check out that skinny tie and all the details and the nice fit in the clothes ! I bet their shoes match.
I look at both of these photos for traces of me and where I got my looks. I suppose if I had kids I'd do the same looking at them.

Sunday my niece and I went to the Fair and saw Grand Funk RR and the Doobie Bros... it was a great show and she and I had a lot of fun! Three MEN sat in front of us... they looked like their prime was when the Doobie Bros first appeared in the 70's and had since expired many a yearsago and this was their big night out. Anyway, one of the men (who actually looked like Humpty Dumpty) kept turning around and smiling at Katelyn! I glared at him. THEN, at one point he hands me his business card to hand to her! I politely returned the card to him and stated that "she is only 14"! He seemed unphased at this and gave her a thumbs up (what?). When the concert was over, I wanted to scoot out of there pretty quickly, as we were leaving, Humpty Dumpty stopped Katelyn and again handed her his business card! She was appauled and not flattered and thought it was really weird (as any 14 year old, or 20 for that matter would) ... I took the card and wrote "I told you she was only 14 years old... shame on you!" on it and popped it into an envelope addressed to his business on the card and mailed it! I hope he's embarassed and I really hope that he has an assistant or someone that opens his mail that will read it and embarass him even more!
