Throwback Thursday: More Family Photos

Today's Thursday, which means it's time for another installment of old family photos.  I'm trying to post many of the photos my grandma gave me, so that other members of the family will have access to them. 
 
My uncle and my dad.  It's funny; growing up, I always heard that I looked like my mom (and we do look alike!), but I can see my oldest son in this photo of my dad--and oldest son looks like me.  I can also see my cousin Becky's smile in my uncle's smile here.  

Dad, Grandma, and Uncle Bud



 I love Grandpa's and Bud's matching overalls in this photo.  I can probably count on one hand the number of times I saw Grandpa wearing something other than overalls.  Of course, I have photos that show him in different clothes, but when I picture Grandpa, I picture him in overalls.  

This is probably one of the latest family photos with Bonnie.  I don't know why they happened to have a photo taken this day, but I'm sure glad they did!

 Have you taken a family photo lately?

Thanks for old photos and the ability to share them, but more importantly, thanks for the people in the photos!

    I love seeing old photos - the clothing, the vehicles and the surroundings.

Ten Things of Thankful: Last Two Weeks

  Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, as viewed from an overlook I apologize for not commenting on your blog posts this past week; John and I took a vacation to Yellowstone National Park, leaving behind our computers and, to a large extent, cell phone service. We escaped the outside world and just spent time in nature. Though we have friends near Yellowstone (who we love to visit) we made this trip just about us, so please forgive us if we were nearby and didn't stop by. The crowds were minimal (though we did mask up whenever we passed someone on the trails) and we spent our days hiking, taking photos, and watching geysers erupt. Today, we are back home and back to work, and, in the case of my computer, back to old shenanigans like not letting me import my photos. (I was able to add the above photo by using blogger on my phone, but that isn't my preferred method.) I want to write about Yellowstone and have photos I want to share, but will leave that for another

Monday Mentions: Equate Crutches

Have you ever needed crutches? I hadn't, until a week ago.  I'm pretty sure I strained a muscle while running a half-marathon.  (That sounds kind of cool, doesn't it? I'm not actually that cool; the last time I strained a muscle it was from carrying too many shopping bags at once.) In any case, I found myself in need of some crutches. I sent my husband to the store to get some. Photo: A pair of crutches leans against a wall  Not that crutches are all that complex, but because I hadn't used any before, I wondered if I could figure out how to adjust them to fit me properly. I shouldn't have worried. John came home from Walmart with their generic store brand of crutches, complete with instructions. First, I needed to take out a long bolt that went through the hand grip. Then I needed to find my height range, push down two metal pieces, and slide the crutches until the little metal pieces came up in the hole near my height range. (Having two people for this
