Throwback Thursday

Going through old photos you find things you’ve not seen before.

In the Internet Archive there was a notice that my father was class secretary and helped convene the 10th reunion.

1963 Throwback Thursday

We’ve changed a bit since these school photos, there’s no debate.

We were fortunate to have Mrs. Winona Stewart as our sixth grade teacher. Whatever possessed me to write our names under the pics, in pen?

Figs. Yes or no? It’s fig season.

My father loved fresh figs. Do you like them fresh? Dried? Here’s a link to fresh fig recipes.

Happiest Birthday Ever -2009

Reblogged post from ten years ago -remembering when we could be together (the Elbow Room in Pittsburgh) doesn’t even exist anymore.

“Monday night Steve and I went to dinner at the Elbow Room (Pittsburgh) to celebrate his birthday. I asked him which of his birthdays was his happiest birthday ever. “Last year!” he said. We were out at Mark and Erika’s and the kids helped blow out the candles, eyeballs for the ophthalmologist. Laura had made the cake with the kids’ help decorating it. James made him a shirt with his favorite cat Fred sniffing the flowers. Mark gave him a book about Where They are Buried and Erika found some really nice summer shirts for him. It was a fun party. His best ever! The children really make life fun! Happy Birthday(2009) Steve.”

Happy Birthday Steve.
