PSA
Maybe I’m just in a sentimental mood lately, but I wanted to take a moment to remind you guys to TAKE PICTURES. And if you use a digital camera, remember to actually PRINT them. Seriously. One day those pictures are going to mean the world to somebody. And one more thing - make sure that YOU get in front of the camera once in awhile too 
Just a few of my memories…
My dad in the ’50s…. he passed away in ‘98.
My mom when she was a young thang… she passed away in ‘04.
My Grandma Jessee (my mom’s mom). She used to work in the kitchen at a hospital in OH. She passed away at the ripe old age of 92 years old in 1994.
Her again -
Me and my parents when I was maybe 10 or so… I know you’re secretly envious of my outfit too.
Me again… wasn’t I a cute kid?? What happened? LOL
My mom and two of her sisters when they were all young (their mom is in the middle)… my mom is the pouty one in front.
Another one of my dad as a young fella…
So anyway, you get the idea. TAKE PICTURES. Take lots and lots of pictures. It’s very affordable with this newfangled technology we have. And even if you think they’re terrible shots, it doesn’t matter. I wouldn’t take anything for the blurry, out of focus, magenta photos of my family. OK - end of PSA. Back to your regularly scheduled programming
You are so RIGHT ON with this blog entry. Loved seeing you as a kid and getting a glimpse of your family. Your Dad was so handsome!

These pics are great and PRICELESS! I went through my grandparents pictures before my grandfather passed away and blew up some classics for them and myself. They are irreplaceable. Thanks for sharing…and you’re right…I have practically zero pics of myself! Love the birthday picture….and the yearbook site!
