Christmas Past!

Christine and sister Laurie

Christmas 1965!

Bill, his Mom and sister in the living room Christmas 1975!

Did I have bell bottom pants on!?!

A "bearded" Bill opening a present - Christmas 1984!

Here are my Mom & Dad at Christmas in 1956!

Christmas is Close!

Here are some Holiday photos of what's going on!

Here are some Annalee dolls that Christine collects!

She adores their sweet and happy faces!!! (click here: Annalee to visit their website!)

yep . . .

that's a man with antlers.

Strange Bedfellows

This is the "first" time our cats have ever gotten this close together!!
Could it be because of the "Christmas Spirit" !?!

The older cat, a Maine Coon named "Citi" seemed abit annoyed over the fact that she was in the chair first!!!

The younger cat, named "Catie" had no problem leaping up on the same chair with her arch-nemesis "Citi".

I still believe it had to do with the fact that it is Christmas time and all animals come to peace with each other and share the joy of the season.

A good example of "Merry Christmas to All, And to All A Good Night."

Christmas is near . . .

First, here's something OLD - me and my Aunt Bertha (only we could not pronounce "Bertha" so we called her "Bob"!)
Yep, that's me on the lap of Aunt Bob!!!
Don't I look thrilled!!



and Now Something NEW!!!





The sun sure is bright outside in that white snow! Better wear eye protection!

Don't let your animals play with the light bulbs!

My Beautiful Christine.

Time for Christmas Lights!

It's time to hang the lights!








and then . . . the Snow Came!! 3-4 inches!

Is that someone frozen out there?

Time to Eat!

Fall is Here!

THIS! Is a "dead fish" I found in our yard as I mowed!!!
Is THIS a Sign from the skies???

or possibly it came from the neighbors when they cook over an open fire late at night and this one was the one that got away!!!

some funnies

Dinki and the Moving Ball

This is a new Blogger feature and I wanted to try it out!

The 7th Grade . . .

Just curious as to what we would look like as a couple in the 7th Grade!!!





I was 13 yrs. old and Chris was 12 yrs. old





Think we may have changed??

happy halloween!

The Halloween Graveyard Fairy!

"boo!" - Christine was a Graveyard Fairy! She greeted and entertained customers at Marshall's department store! She had fun and enjoyed customer's comments!

Back in 1974 - Prom Night!

Some family historial photos:
Here are a couple of polaroid shots of Bill in 1974 on Prom Night in his spiffy-new Johnny Carson suit! Yes, Johnny Carson had a suit line of clothing and Bill just had to have this suit! Photos were taken in the Holmes family home in Greenup County - South Shore, Kentucky - population 497 !!! (click on photos for an enlargement)


(that yellow door lead to the garage!)
I believe Bill had "lambchops" on the side of his face!!!


A proud stance in my Johnny Carson suit!
(note all the oriental decor and "white poodle!" statue in the background, Bill's parents loved oriental art and worldly artifacts.) Not sure why we had that poodle!

More past Holmes photos to come!
