Special Exposure/Wordless Wednesday



The sudden passing of my father 2 weeks ago prompted us to go through some old photos to mount on a poster board to display at his visitation and funeral service. Today I decided to share an old photo of myself, my sister Andrea and my brother Eric. The year ~ probably about 1982. I would have been 12, my sister 6, and my brother 4. When we were young, our parents would let us decorate for New Year's Eve and do other special things to celebrate. These are some of the best memories I have. Don't you dig the hats?

  9. I think I may have actually seen some of those hats in the party store a while back - huh! The economy is really liquidating some back inventory!
