Flashback Friday - Oops!

Does anyone remember the brilliant idea that I had last Friday? Then one where I planned to start a flashback photo blog? Each week, a new picture? Yes, well, I've run into a slight problem. It occurred to me last night all photos of me prior to 1988ish are not here at my house; they are still in albums at my parents' house! Oops.

Now I realize that I could have pulled a post-1988 picture for today, but that was not my intent. Since I started at the beginning last week, I want to continue on with my time line, not jump ahead to my teen years. I will be spending some time at their house this weekend, so I will undoubtedly be poring through the albums in search of the perfect little gems to share with you in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, I did not want to let you down today. I mean, you went through all the trouble to come and visit me, right? So for your viewing pleasure this week, I proudly present a picture that I have of my husband and a few of his siblings.



Judging by their ages, I believe this must have been taken in the fall of 1975. This is a lesson in parenting, if you really think about it. Apparently all you need to amuse and entertain your children is a box, a cowboy hat and a fire extinguisher. Who knew?

My hubby? The stud in the hat!

I used to do Flashback Friday posts, too (I thought I was original at the time!) and then got lazy... I was thinking about starting them back up again, though, too. It's fun to go down memory lane!

Can you email me that picture? I have good memories of those days! It was fun being the big sister! I loved those little boys with all my heart! (Still do, but yknow what I mean!)
