I have been looking for a bunch of old photos that have been lost in my house for about 2 years. I have looked everywhere for them, hoping they weren't lost forever. Most of these were taken when I was a teen.
My husband was the one who finally found them, under the bed with his baseball cards, of all places.
I decided to scan and share a few with you today.
This is me (age 20), holding my daughter when she was about a month old.
Me (age 16) and LuLu
Me, age 16.
Lil, me (age 16), and Tom.
This is me (age 16) and Dianne, on Tom's motorcycle, in Tom's garage. We were supposed to be doing the thumbs like the Fonz, but just as the picture was being taken, Tom moved the back of the bike and scared the crap out of both of us.
In my room, sitting on my bed.

Me in back. (age 16)

Another from same day/location.
The illusion of having photographed 'falling snow' is a bit odd, since there was no snow actually falling. Some weird photography mishap that I had no idea about till the photos were developed.
My daughter (age 4) and me (age 24).
This was taken at Great Adventure.
We are sitting in King Kong's hand.

Halloween, at Mary's house.
Age 16
My guess would be either age 18 or 19.
I am really not sure, but judging from the length of my hair, it was probably 19.
Christmas, at Debbie's house.
Age 18
Debbie always seemed to give me purses for Christmas, for some reason.

very cool, april.
And to think I wouldn't have found this little treasure if I didn't join friendFeed. There are some great shots there and I am sure they brought back a lot of fond memories.
Question: How did the cake get on your nose?
Yeah, it did bring back a lot of memories. And this is just a small fraction of the photos that were in that box.
Answer: My husband put it there. He didn't think I should have my picture taken on my birthday without wearing cake on my nose.
LOL, sounds like my sort of bloke. He knows how to take a memorable photo. It was interesting that he kept it with his baseball cards. Will you be posting any more at a later date?
I might, but I am not sure if they will be on this blog. If I can fit more in, in some sort of suitable way, I will.
I have another blog that hasn't been made public, that I am using to write my autobiography. (my daughter insisted I do it, to preserve the stories about family members that she never had a chance to meet or get to know)
It's very likely to have a great deal of photos from this box, by the time I am ready to make it public.
Since my life hasn't been all roses & rainbows (quite far from it) I can't reveal it while there is a possibility that some older family members may accidentally come across it and get their feelings seriously hurt.
Unfortunately, family diplomacy says I have to keep it hidden for at least another 10 years, maybe longer.
