Memory Monday
Memory Monday
People always love to dress up in costume for Halloween, and since last Friday was October 31st, I dug through some of my family photo archives (both my family and the Big Guy’s) and came up with a few costumes from the past. Some of them would perhaps rather be forgotten; I had been keeping the photos from 1983 of […]
Memory Monday: Siblings
The Big Guy and I are both the youngest siblings in our families; I have two older sisters, while he has an older sister and an older brother. In going through the stacks of family photos, I’m pleased to see plenty of pictures of him with his siblings as well as his parents — quite a lot of Christmas season […]
Memory Monday: Real photo post cards
Since the passing of both my in-laws this spring, I have become the caretaker of a rather large collection of family photos, some dating back to the early 1900s.

Throwback Thursday: Ferndale Resort
Back in May 2010 we spent a quiet week with my in-laws at Clear Lake, fishing and relaxing at a relatively small motel on Soda Bay known then as the Ferndale Resort. It was nothing fancy but was a nice, comfortable place, with a string of guest rooms and one or two single-wide mobile homes available for those who didn’t […]
Memory Monday on a break
