Shirley you look great then and now!!

Sheri - I see you were showing some leg there! You look great!

Loz - I don't have any pics from 30 years ago either because I wasn't born yet but since you posted others...maybe I will do the same.

Me either Sheri - I'll never see that height in this lifetime!!!

Sheri - you are one sexy lady in that picture!

Loz - I'll never stand next to you - I can't believe you are taller than that fridge - I can't even reach on top of ours to get bags of chips when Don pushes them to the back!!!

Post them Jess! I'd like to see!

Lynne, that was a short fridge really. But I am 5'10" barefoot.

I will post some tonight or tomorrow.

I'm still trying to get pics of me....seems no one has any.

Awwww, Tam---someone has to have some!!!!!

I have some of me from way back in teh day--I just have to figure out how to scan them into my computer to get them to Photobucket to get them to here.

& Val has been on vacation, (anyone remember what that is???)& so I could not ask for her help. Good news??? she will be h ome sometime tonight--at least that was her plan. so hopefully I will have a p ic or 2 in the near future to show you all.

Well Well I did it all myself--here are a few pictures of me and DH.

here is my High School Graduation Picture.---spring 1970---and no that is not my natural color of hair


Below is the photo taken for my application to take my accrediation exam
April 1977


This is a picture of me and my DH---Rod, taken June 1982

You had a tiny waist too Carol! I love the pictures! I'm glad you were able to do it yourself so we could see them!

thanks Loz--and yes I did have a small waste.
I weighed 122 when I was 2 months along with valarie in 1980, and then when she was in High school I gave her a short set I had not worn much, as it was her favorite color.....she could not wear it--it seems I was smaller than her even then. I have NO idea what happened.

hey Loz, did you get my PM???

Wow!

My flashy thing isn't working right. Let me go check.

You did a great job of posting the pictures Carol - congrats!

And wow - you were pretty serious in the first two, huh? (just teasing you!)
Great pictures, and you look much more relaxed in the picture with Rod - amazing what love can do, right?!?

Here is me as a baby in August of 1981...I was not a very cute baby!



I would imagine I was 5 or 6 in these next two.





What a cute outfit in the last one huh?!?

I was first grade homecoming attendant and here I am all ready to go.



I believe this was 3rd grade. I can't believe how big my glasses were.

This is my junior prom in 1998.



And this is one of my senior pictures.




None of these are 30 years ago but I was only born 27 years ago...well 27 years in August.

Hey I love all the pictures! And you had glasses too! Mark picks on me and says how dorky I looked.

Love the prom picture, your waist was really small too.

I just LOVE seeing these pictures.

And psssst, you were a cute baby.

I have a baby pic here somewhere too.

I did have glasses. I had them until 6th grade and then I didn't need them anymore. I looked very dorky in glasses. They were so big but I guess that is what was in then. The color of my prom dress in that picture isn't the best but it was a light blue. I loved that dress!

I had a huge nose in my baby picture! Thankfully it isn't that big anymore.

Get your baby picture out so we can see!

Did you notice in one of the pictures that my mom covered all of our furniture in afghans?!?

We had those same type of afghans!

I thought the dress was white in the picture. I'm glad you said light blue.

And I think the pic of you in the boat is so cute. Mom and Dad have a few of me in a boat ride like that.

Did Tristen look like you when he was a baby?

Our baby pictures don't look that much alike but he looks a lot like me now. This is not his newborn pic but you can get the idea.



And here is a more recent pic of him. This one is over a year old but again...you get the idea. I don't have any newer ones on this computer that are that close up.

I am loving all these pictures!!! Once again, thanks for keeping this thread going!
It's fascinating to see what everyone looked like years ago!

Here is my high school yearbook picture senior year - we only did pictures for that last year.


And a wedding picture that I've posted before - Nov. 3rd, 1979 - 29 years ago.
A cousin took this picture - it's much better than any the professional photographer took!

You were a beautiful bride Lynne!! That is a great picture! Your yearbook picture is very nice too! It is so fun to look at all of these!

Thanks Jessica!!! But wow - you are only 2 years older than my son!!!
Now I really feel old!!!

very pretty one of you in the white shirt and black vest!

Thank you Cricket!

Sorry to make you feel old Lynne but I don't think you are old!!

not to feel old, Lynne--My daughter is 1 year OLDER than Jessica---how do you think I feel---how did this happen is what I want to know.

We were of the generation that was not ever getting old, right????

right! we are all the same age on here, garden age

I LIKE the way you think, Jiffy !!!!

Jessica, your pictures are lovely!

Like I said to you once before, you always came across to me as a 'classy lady', and you looked like that then, also!!

Of course you'd never know that from some of the emails you send me!!!

Tristen is very cute!!

Here is a picture of my daddy and me.....about 69 or 70 years ago!!!

I had my tongue sticking out the side of my mouth!!!!

I think I look like I was as silly as I am now!!!

I know you can handle my e-mails Shirls!

Cute picture of you and your dad!

OMG Shirley - that picture is adorable!
What a terrific keepsake you have there! Thanks for sharing it!

This was taken October 14, 1995 when Maxi was 10 days old. We were still in the NICU.


Merme

I love that photo of you and your daddy, Shirls! Thanks so much for putting it up for us.


Merme

This is me on my first day of Kindergarden. It was far longer ago than 30 years, by the way!



Merme

Awwwwwww Merme - Maxi was so tiny, but what a head of hair!!!

And you are so cute there - didn't know you had blonde hair!
And is that a blankie you are carrying???

Yup, at 3 1/2 lbs., Maxi was an itty bitty but man oh man, all that hair made everyone chuckle. Even his docs kept pictures of him.

And yup, that was my blankie. My Aunt Marion in TN made me that quilt and it was my most favorite. All the children had to bring a blanket to school for nap time and I loved mine.

I had very pale blonde hair with silvery streaks all of my life until I got into my mid-30's. Then it started getting darker. But even now, it isn't very dark.


Merme

WOW!!!!!!!! im all over the forum at the moment trying to catch up on whats happening. I love this thread Its great seeing photos from years ago, only drawback is that it makes me feel a little nostalgic, and keep asking myself where have all those years gone?

By the way, Lynne ~ you were such a lovely bride!

And Jess ~ In that pale blue junior prom gown you remind me of those delicate ladyslippers; a highly treasured, old-fashioned flower.
