Jacket Project, and Old Pics

 The other night I was sitting here and thinking about a project that I had in mind. 

ALWAYS...

A friend gave me this blue jean jacket a couple of years ago.


Shortly before moving I had a throw pillow that was worn out and was headed to the trash. Only when I looked at it I decided the middle would work great on my jacket.

So I sewed it on the back. 

It really does look neat.

So while looking for pics I took of Sal when he was here in 79 I ran across some others that I shared on FB. 
The first was taken in 
1974 in the one and only flowerbed I ever remember my mom having. Here is the view of that side of the house, into the backyard, clothes on the line and the back of the house on the other street. 



I ran out to take a pic of the same view the other day. So 46 years later, the difference. The fencing had been added. The redwood fencing was added to hide the air unit. Then later the metal fencing was installed. Course you can see the back end of the deck also. But looking past that you can see the same clothes line still standing and yes, I still hang clothes out. The pine trees were planted by our neighbor and of course they grew blocking the view of the back of the houses on the other street.


The next pic was taken in 1976, of course all these pics were taken by me (always had a camera). 
That is Mark up a tree!
Taken 44 yrs ago.


Same view of the tree that was planted when the house was built, 54 yrs ago. This is the tree that I just had cut back to see if it could be saved. 
Mark seems to think it will not make it and I will have to have the rest taken down. 



HAHA...I wonder if I can get Mark to climb up to that fork in the tree and lets do a retake!!!

While looking through pics I found these of my friend that lived down the street, Cindy. I guess I was always goofing off. I think Mark took this pic.


This next was Cindy and I after school on Sadie Hawking's Day. 
Goofy yet again.
 

Like I said, I always had a camera. Mom took this next pic with my first camera, Polaroid camera. Black and white and faded...haha

I have only been through on box of pics and only located this one pic of Sal and I. I will be looking more tomorrow. 


I think the bed started out a few mins ago whispering my name, now it is yelling at me.


Good night all,
Pam

I've been doing the same -- going through old pix, sending them back to the people who are in them. It's really pretty fun!

The best part is trying to recreate the photos later. If you can get your friend to repose with you. . . Sad that Sal can't do it, but seeing the settings again is good.

Pam, these old photos are something else. That's great that you kept so many treasured photos. I still have albums and albums of old pictures. I just can't get rid of them. I like how you compared the trees and the houses now and then, that's cool. The brick looks a bit different. Maybe it's just older and faded through the years. I hope you keep your old pictures always, Pam. They are a part of who we are. : )

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after him. I had to snap a pic of Kelley making sure that I got

Well, what was I thinking? HAHA After laying on my couch in so much pain all summer, I knew moving closer to  Amber was the thing to do, The timing of finding my dream home was off. However, Two days of Open House and I have a contract. Selling as is, minor repairs.  Inspection to be done after  the work in the  den and BR is done. The process of getting here while just a couple of weeks of healing was a challenge. My daughter was a big  help weekend before  last. I just collect to many projects that I  never get around to and that has to stop. I have to say, last time  was easier, I had moved into my childhood home before I sold the other, so it was empty when sold. EASIER. I hate moving so close to Christmas but it is  what it is. Fall seems to have made it to us the past week. I am surprised, we were losing so many leaves due to no rain,  glad to have some color. In between packing, cleaning, repairs and life in general, I have  managed to do a few things. I taught a paint class an
