CREATIVE SPARKS: FAMILY PHOTOS FROM THE 70’S & 80’S — JAN. 26

Welcome to another creative opportunity to showcase photos, via our weekly Saturday Snapshot event, hosted by Alyce, At Home With Books.

This week, it’s more foraging through the old photo albums to come up with these moments from the past.

Back in the 70s

My 1970s memories include some interior and exterior shots of what was happening then.  In the top photo, it’s me and my three sons, while the second shot is one of me, relaxing a bit.

The last two shots show the outside and inside of the little mobile home in which we lived for awhile.

Next up:  The Eighties

CREATIVE SPARKS: OLD & NEW SNAPSHOTS — JAN. 19

 

Welcome to another creative opportunity to showcase photos, via our weekly Saturday Snapshot event, hosted by Alyce, At Home With Books.

This week, I’ve gone back to search the old photo albums again, and found some shots of my daughter and me during 1978-79, when I was working on my master’s thesis.  It was a great time to explore some new ideas.

 

Rain & Heather – Christmas 1978

 

Heather & Friends – 1979

The orange chair was a favorite in the living room of our duplex.

This last photo of Heather was snapped in my office.  I enjoyed having my special place where I could spread out my papers and books and work.  The sofa made into a bed.

And because it was special, the kids enjoyed coming into the room when I invited them.

Speaking of offices, here are some new shots of my current office…Yes, a segue back to the present.

 

Office — a Collage

 

Pretty self-explanatory-Left to right:  2 shots of the laptop; a shelf for DVDs and fairytale plush toys, next to a bookcase on the left and my book nook to the right; and finally, my full bookshelf next to the sofa and TV.

Now I’m off to check out your featured photos.
