fun with the scanner

I've been having fun choosing old photos and scanning them in so I can share them.

This is one of my favorites; it was taken at the Saratoga Battlefield park. I love how I look like I'm riding a wild stallion or something, rather than a cannon. *g*


Berry picking on my grandparents' farm:



I remember that day clearly, including the pudding my grandmother made from the berries.

My sister and me with a couple of cousins, at my cousin Kip's wedding:



I'm the one with the yellow bow.

More here, and more to come. :)

Old photos are great! You look like you had so much fun as a child. Thanks for sharing!

We did have fun. :)

These are adorable photos. You're very lucky to have this history.

I'm lucky my mom was as much of a shutterbug as I am. I guess that's where I got it! :)

Those are fabulous pictures! I love the one berry picking, and the fact you remember the pudding afterwards. :)

I'm pretty sure I got the shutterbug fever from my mom. ;)

I wonder if I would remember the day so clearly if mom hadn't taken this picture (and used it as a Christmas card that year).

Those were the days... If it's any consolation, at that age anything I decided to sit on would have been some kind of horse, too. I'm sure I had woolen stirrups and reins set up on the bannisters at home.

I was a horse nut as a kid. Posters in my room, little horse figures to play with. My Barbies were equestriennes. *g*

I know exactly where you're coming from. I had Sindy, as opposed to Barbie, but she was equally committed to equestrianism.

And then I discovered the Breyer horse, and wound up with about 300 of the things.

They're still boxed up in the loft.

I had a few Breyer horses! :)

Mine all had names, pedigrees and their details meticulously entered into a stud book.

They even entered model horse shows.

The sign of a misspent youth...
