Flashback Friday

A few weeks ago I started sharing photos from my past and then I found fellow blogger was doing the same thing. If you'd like to join in the fun click on the link below and enjoy taking a trip down memory lane on Friday's.



I have an adorable picture of my lil bro and I playing in the snow in November of 1985 that I was going to scan for today but when I try to scan I get this error message, (The scan cannot be performed because another program or computer is using the network device) so until I can have my awesome husband help me figure out what's going here is one of my favorite photos of our first furbaby, Gracie.

This is Gracie & her feline friend Orion in 2004. Orion was our neighbors cat and these two use to play a lot. It was fun to watch!

Flashback Friday - NKOTB

Yes I was one of those teenage girls who was madly in love with New Kids On The Block! My walls & ceiling were covered in posters from teen magazines. I had all their albums, new all their lyrics, had a few NKOTB video cassets, shirts, and buttons. hee hee! I remember my best friend (then) Kari & I trying to see how many times we could sing the Right Stuff on our car ride from Seattle to Graham. I am pretty sure it was the longest trip her mom had ever made. We couldn't have been more excited when a security guard at the Washington state fair let us into the NKOTB concert without a ticket! It was near the end of the concert, we had been hanging around the gate for him to please please please let us in and then he did! We got to see them perform a few songs! I loved all the boyz but I believe my favorite was Jordan Knight! My oldest niece actually went to go see them in concert a few weeks ago. She said it was awesome. They were in the 13th row and the boyz kept walking by them. See when she was little I had her wear this tee-shirt and we had photo shoots of her and all my NKOTB stuff. Ha ha! I have those pictures around here somewhere. This picture was taken in the kitchen of my childhood home.

Now that I've thoroughly embarrassed myself I would love to have you join in the fun of Flashback Friday. I hope to organize a blog carnival soon but for now I am busy getting ready to head out of town on Sunday. If you would like to join in the fun, please leave me a comment to check out your flashback on your blog. Happy Friday!!

Flashback Friday

Good Morning! Happy Friday family & friends! I am a very sentimental person and love traveling down memory lane. On that note I am going to start posting something called Flashback Friday. Every Friday (time permitting) I am going to upload a picture or two from a different time. I don't want to necessarily limit it to just personal pictures. I was thinking it might be fun to flash back to historical facts, or trends from the past. Please feel free to join in the fun.


This is my me being held by my Grandpa Fran. (My mom's dad) I adored my grandpa! I wish I would have had more time with him. (He passed away quite some time ago). He loved to play rough & be ornery with us grand kids. Oh man the whisker burns, pulling my fingers outa socket, the Indian burns and I remember him being funny. Thinking about him I can almost remember how he smelled and the hats he wore. I have one of those hats and a ring that was his that I cherish.




June 1985, trip to the llama farm in Coupeville, Washington, which is on Whidbey Island. Upon looking closer at the picture today I noticed the guy looking at my grandpa like um please take the picture soon. Not many Polaroid camera's around today, eh?
