Memories in B & W

My cousin Dennis, the boy on the left, recently sent me some very old family photos and this is one of the cutest.
That's moi on the right in the sexy suit standing in my fancy backyard pool with three of my cousins.
What I found fascinating is where this photo faded - right in the corner where my late father is seen smiling as he is walking up the back steps.
To me it's like he is looking down at us from Heaven. I wish I had more photos of him. We didn't take that many pictures when I was young, I guess.
I still think of things to ask him, things that only he would know about, even though he died in 1976.
I always felt like he had all the answers to all my questions. That's what daddies are for, right?

Technology gets the better of us


My husband, known in the blogosphere as Airhead 55, posted this classic photo yesterday but for some reason the comments section on his blog went bye-bye. Neither of us is technically-oriented, so we're not sure what happened.
So if you would like to comment on this snapshot from the 1950s, feel free to do it here and I will relay the message. ;-)
In an effort to get readers for Airhead, I am thoughtfully providing the link: http://airhead55-ralph.blogspot.com/

The smiling miniature men in hats and short pants apparently are named Phillip and Marty. That's the only information we have on the back of the photo. All I know is, it's a keeper!
