He's now 48 so doesn't look so innocent now. I like this one for his neat hair cut (courtesy of yours truely) and his silhouette against the bright light of the outside. It might have been Christmas - opening presents. I think he was about 6 here.
Thankful for"
Scanning - didn't scan this one but took a photo. The scan makes a huge improvement though.
1000 cases of covid19 out of a population of 400,000\450,000 though. We fared well but you have to take the those infected in proportion to the population.
@happypat We really will have to scan all our old photos, Pat. We had the unfortunate task of getting rid of about 20 huge photograph albums of SIL. None of her children wanted them!
I cant imagime not wanting my parents photograph albums .. the most precious of everything in the house! Lovely to look back on pictures like this and enjoy memories of the children but also the context of the environment.
@helenhall Yes, agreed Helen - I have about 10 of my mothers and 3 of my fathers which go back to the First World War. Our adult children just love getting the albums out to go over their childhood and growing up stories!
@maggiemae Well is t that sad.....some people have no interest in history that’s the way they are but their grandchildren might in the future.......you can’t store all your family heritage though, enough with your own!
@happypat In this case, my SIL took tons of pictures of flowers particularly of iris which she hybridised and then tons of travel pictures from one journey!
Hello Maggiemae! I thought I'd drop in and see what is going on in New Zealand. I am sorry for being so unconnected for so long. Ever since my wife retired I've had to reorganize my priorities. The days pass so quickly. Much like our children. Yesterday we were changing their diapers today they have their own families who are going off to college or ready to start a family!
I hope all is well with you and your hubby!
i saw this last night in my sleepy state so i had to come back and comment. it is a fabulous shot, and i was thinking how come you haven't done any of your spectacular story-telling with this? it has a lot of potential, you know! aces!
@skipt07 Thank you Skip for taking the time to enquire! We are both fine apart from age related weaknesses - like getting up from the floor, puffing after too many steps.. etc.
I hope all is well with you and your hubby!
