I can't stand looking at the previous post myself. So, let me share with you what I've been working on for the past few weeks. Well, actually, I can only share bits and pieces of what I've been doing. My goal is to make a picture storybook about Mom and Dad from the time they were dating to present. It's an almost overwhelming task. I've only just begun, and it's taken lots of time and effort to get just this much done.
Here are pictures of Mom and Dad taken in 1944. She was 14 and he was 16 at that time. These will be the first pages of their book, with a bit of family history on each side. I have a few pictures of them together when they were dating, which will be enhanced with some actual real stories told by Mom and Dad about one of their most memorable dates.
Then of course, I have their wedding pictures, and a few stories about that too.
I have quite a few pictures of Dad in Korea. He left two weeks after they were married, so Mom stayed with her brother and his family while Dad was in Korea. Then I plan to add pictures in chronological order as much as possible up to the present day. After I get all that done....or should I say if I ever get all that done... I'd like to go backwards to include pictures of their parents...our grandparents, and their siblings....and as much information as I can from our ancestors. I'd hoped to get this all done in time to give them as Christmas gifts, but I think that's pretty much impossible!
I love some of these old pictures. Perhaps you'll see
someone you recognize! Margie and Brad, Lucille, Sonny, Lester,
and of course, Mom and Dad.
There....now you who read this know what's been going on with me, and you have to admit, these are much more pleasant to look at!

WAY COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I say you have your work cut out for you since you have like 40 days!!! Good job!!!! And yes - more pleasant to the eyes indeedy!!
Ummmm you have changed your background to blue again so why no new posts?? Gettin' kinda lame aren't ya??? lol
What did Dennis find out from the knee doc?
Here's my EXCUSE....
I've had a rough week. Didn't bounce back from the heart cath as I'd expected, and because of that, have not spent much time at the computer. Sitting was uncomfortable, but today is MUCH better. I did go to Iowa City with Dennis Tuesday....probably would have been more comfortable to stay home, but we did see the Knee Dr. and they'll probably replace the left knee sometime next year. He's thinking that if they can put it off until June, that would be the best time for it.
I did change the background, because since Thanksgiving is past, I thought a Christmas background would be nice, but I didn't find one that I particularly liked, so went back to the blue...my favorite color. I promise to get a new post really soon....perhaps even today!
