I’m still going through boxes of slides, finding many that I’ve already scanned but also a few that managed to slip past me before. Even some of those I previously scanned with my old scanner are sitting unused on my computer, often because I wasn’t happy with the image quality. I guess being disorganized does have a few advantages, after […]
Just when I was sure I had run out of old photos to share, I happened to find a few more slides in the box that I somehow managed to overlook before. Most are from the 1960s and 1970s, but I don’t have a lot of information about any of them.
Memory Monday is on a break this week! See you soon with more family memories. In the meantime, here are a couple of slides from the spring of 1953 showing my eldest sister in front of our grandparents’ house.

I was disappointed to find the cabin had no phone and no TV; but it did have a wide balcony, a wonderful picture window looking out over […]

Yes — we drove more than 200 miles round trip in a single day just for the brief chance to […]
Sonoma Coast, July 1998 — After spending one night in our posh lodgings, the Big Guy was eager to get back out and find a fishing spot. We had to head home that afternoon, so there was no time to be lost! He left the room about 7 AM to search for bait (ghost shrimp) at Doran Beach, just down […]
Sonoma Coast, July 1998 — It was just a quick overnight trip to the coast, but we splurged and stayed at the upscale Bodega Bay Lodge. Our room was large, with a private balcony overlooking the bay and a rustic stone fireplace. The hotel complex held a pool as well as sauna, jacuzzi, and exercise room (none of which I […]
While we’re still waiting on cleanup and repairs to the bike trail after the blockage caused by the winter storms of early 2017, here’s a look back at some previous damage I had nearly forgotten about. Back in January 1995, I took a stroll with the Big Guy and our friend Dan to check out the aftereffects of a big […]
