Morning Meanderings…

Published on by Sheila (Book Journey)

Good morning.

I am a little later than usual this morning due to prepping and putting up my Literary Giveaway post for Judith’s Blog hop.  If you have some time you should check out the giveaways.  I plan to do this as well once I get some coffee in me… yes, you read that right… as of this moment I am caffeine free.  Probably another reason this post is up a little later… I am not moving as quickly as I normally am.  😛

On other random notes, it is Saturday and time for a Saturday Snapshot thanks to Alyce of At Home With Books.   Hmmmm…. what am I in the mood for this morning…..  *clicking through pictures from my files*

Ok – this will work:

This is a picture of my uncle’s wedding in 1959.  From left to right is my uncle Dick, my uncle Bill, and my dad Gary.  I don’t have many pictures of my dad who died in a house fire in 1980 so I grabbed a few life this at my aunt and uncles 50th wedding anniversary party.  It’s fun to see the hair styles!

For giggles – here is a picture of my dad’s siblings from that 50th anniversary party.  It was awesome to have them all there!  From left to right:  Bunk (she lives in California), Bill (the groom from the above picture), Bob, and Ida. Bill, Bob, and Ida all still live here in Brainerd Minnesota.

My big plan for today is to get in some reading!   I have a few errands to run this afternoon but nothing seriously time-consuming.  I ran a lot yesterday to make today a bit more relaxing.  Seriously though, I do need to get some coffee.  😀

  2. I love those pictures, especially the first one from the wedding. I love looking at old pictures of my family too. It is really special. Thanks for sharing these!

    I am not a coffee drinker but I really needed my cup of caffeinated tea this morning. I got up at seven but haven’t been “awake” till now. I hope you have a great day!

  4. I always love these type of photos…such a treasure. I’m catching up on blogs, reviews, stuff like that and then later tonight we’re going to have a big Monopoly game with my son and his friends 😀

      1. Oh, yeah, finding new frames, as long as there are some good ones to choose from, is always fun. I’m a little sad though, because the pair I liked THE MOST is too pricey. Of course. But, I’ve got an appointment this week, and I like the frames she ordered for me, too.

  9. Hi Sheila,

    I love digging through old family snaps, alhough it can also be a bit depressing to realise how much one has aged, in what seems like just a few short years!!

    I have pictures of my dad with the slicked hairdo, now he still has a full head of hair at age 85!

    Milestone celebrations are always great … last year it was my in-laws 60th Diamond Wedding Anniversary, so there were some great family celebrations and the obligatory ‘family’ photograph, with the three children and three grandchildren, which hangs in pride of place on their wall.

  12. That wedding picture looks like it came right out of an old movie! Everyone’s so spiffy. These old photos are such a treasure.

    I really should grab some of my family’s old photo albums and scan them so they are preserved.

  13. I love the old photo, and especially liked comparing Bill in the older and newer photos. It makes me curious what I’m going to look like when I’m older, and also makes me wonder when I see random older people around the community – what did they look like when they were younger?
