It’s a really busy week, too. Three speaking engagements, five clients, Valentine’s Day, and my birthday right in the middle. Guess every birthday can’t fall on a Saturday, right? However, I did get a really great gift from my husband - the new iPhone 32 w/4G! It's so neat. My old one was a six-year old basic model. Yes, it was sad.
My mother’s birthday is in a couple weeks and I decided to make her a picture book with old photos. Since there’s nothing quite like embarrassing myself on my own birthday, thought I’d share a few of the photos I scanned. Hold all laughter and chortling until the end…
This is my father and I at the Oregon Coast. We're bundled, so probably summer. LOL
My mom and I at Yesllowstone National Park.
I went to see the Mercury Cougar, and while you couldn't touch the big cat, I got to pet her cub.
Graduation day with my buddies Violet and Marlene!
Halloween with my best friend, Dale. No idea what I was supposed to be...
Stunning! (Giggle, snort, lol) So - Happy B-Day's are in order, hmm? And that makes you what now - lemme guess ... 29? Yes, I'm sure of it. Twenty nine and just STARTING to shine! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I love the photos (my parents took us to Yellowstone too--we were big into the national parks, but I'm jealous of that Mercury cub). Hope you have a great day :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. And Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteOld photos are great, thanks for sharing. Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteA Hap-Hap-Happy Birthday to you Diane. Love the pix! ღ

Happy Birthday, Diane! Love the pics...and no, I absolutely *don't* believe that you remember men walking on the moon!
ReplyDeleteHappy happy birthday! Yay!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Hope you have a good day.
Happy Birthday, Diane. Yes, I also remember walking into People's Drug store and the moon walk was blasting out of their speakers. I think they had a TV on somewhere too. I was there with my dad and one of my brothers.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to look at the gems of memory so thank you for sharing yours. :-) How cool to pet the cub.
Happy birthday! Hope you have a great one!
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks everyone! And only a few giggles.
ReplyDeleteHeading out for some birthday fun!
Happy Birthday, Diane. I'm glad you weren't hurt. Love your photos. :)

All together now..."First this lesson/you must learn...FIRST you pillage, THEN you burn...Happy birthday (uh) happy birthday..." (I'm thinking Vikings were involved in that costume--Vikings or Link from the Zelda games.

Happy birthday, fellow Crusader group member. The pictures are charming. What a great idea for a present. I hope your mom has as much fun looking at the photos as you seem to be having putting your collection together. A gift from the heart, with meaning for both of you, is the best kind of present.

ReplyDeleteJean, thank you, and my husband said if I was going to be involved in an accident, that was the best kind.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the birthday wishes!
I'm a fellow crusader, stopping by to say hello. Nice to meet you! Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a really great birthday! I love the old pictures--totally hear you on that Oregon Coast--on the positive side, at least it rarely snows... We honeymooned in Lincoln City in Novemeber and the STORMS were fabulous!

Taking a stroll down memory lane is fun. Better when mixed with a little vino too LOL! Now I'm inspired to break out the Brady Bunch themes pics of me and the fam from the 70s.
ReplyDeleteHappy late B-day!
ReplyDeleteI made a picture thing for my brother a few Christmases ago. That's the sort of thing they unwrap and just sorta stare at for a few seconds, you know.
Enjoy making yours. I sure enjoyed mine. There's this one picture of him and me in our underwear setting up boxes and a ramp and running and jumping over it, one of us on hands-and-knees in front of the ramp to add drama to the stunt. Evil Knievel was the rage, and Elvis was killing em in Vegas...
