TIME WARP TUESDAYS

Jenn had the idea to post photos we have around our homes and tell the story behind them.  I used to have a long hall with photos lined up mixed in with the kids artwork and other family things.  Now, I just have a few photos out in our smaller house.

Our scanner isn't available tonight, so I took a photo of the photo on the wall! I will be more organized for this next week...

But since it was our 28th Anniversary Sunday - I thought I would start with the wedding photo I have out.  My parents in the middle, 2 of my sisters and my brother and sister-in law.  Don't we just look so 1984?

We were married outdoors in a small park and had a reception on the patio of a neighboring restaurant.  The colors were pink and gray.  Tom worse a tux because his only suit was tan and we couldn't afford to buy him a new one. It was a small wedding, mostly my parent's friends because we had recent moved to the Bay Area. But some of our friends came from San Diego and my best friend from high school managed to get a quick break from her residency and come down from Seattle. My mom and I made my dress and the whole thing cost about $2500.00 - nothing compared to how things are done now!  But it took.

PERSONAL PHOTO CHALLENGE

Jen on the Edge is quite good at setting up challenges for herself and her blog readers/fans/minions.  She has proposed that we all need to be more accepting of ourselves just as we are and not shy away from publishing photos of ourselves on our own blogs. 

The challenge for today is to post a holiday photo of ouselves.  Somehow the holidays got by without a photo of me on my own camera - but we did take a few shots at a post holiday dinner with my daughter and her boyfriend.

I am not allowed to say it is a bad picture or say anything negative about how I look.  Here it is:

NAPPING IN THE SUN

This squirrel was outside my front door this morning soaking up the last of the sun before the next storm comes in.  Hilda's fading eyesight gave him the chance to take a nice long nap in peace!

BLUE MONDAY

Jodi at the Colony has offered up a Blue Photo Challenge. I missed the orange challenge last week, but in just a few minutes around my house I have some blue offerings.
