Getting Nostalgic again . . . vintage photos

Christine is working today, so I started looking back in old photo albums and guess what I found . . .

(Click on Photo to Enlarge it!)
This is my 1st Grade Class Photo! My dad was principal Mr. Holmes, over to the left and my teacher was Mrs. Ruggles - inwhich I am standing right in front of!
The 2 girls in the front row to the far left in aqua/teal dresses were Sylvia and Angela who I would develop a crush on. I would write love letters to Sylvia only to have Angela intercept them!

Here I am in 1959 - they kept me in a pin and forced me to ride ponies!!









and I would lay down with my best friend, Huckleberry Hound! I dragged that stuffed animal everywhere I would go - nowadays I have a Dinki pekingese that I walk - kinda ironic!

1968 Holmes Family of South Shore, Kentucky Super 8mm Films

I finally found out how to post my family's Super 8mm Home Movies so I could share them with you!! Here is my family's first Florida Vacation in 1968 in 3 Parts - I even gave them all a soundtrack!! - being in Super 8mm they were silent films. You can leave comments on the actual YouTube website. I will post more later on - they take some time to upload!



This is Part 1 of a Series of Super 8mm Home Movies that my family took of our yearly Florida Vacations. The year is 1968 and we took our first trip to Fort Pierce, Florida. We saw my mother's dad and mom (Ma-maw & Pa-paw) who were vacationing earlier that year, staying in my mom's Aunt Rosealie & Ralph's Florida vacation home. We also visited Cypress Gardens in this film segment.




This is Part 2 of a Series of Super 8mm Home Movies that my family took of our yearly Florida Vacations.
In this home movie clip we see "Flipper" (aka Mizi) the dolphin, star of the TV Series, drive across the 7 Mile Bridge to Key West, swimming folics in a motel pool, Ernest Hemingway's Home, visit a Fort in Key West, see a Seminole Indian Village and return to the Fort Pierce Beach!




This is Part 3 of a Series of Super 8mm Home Movies that my family took of our yearly Florida Vacations.
Here we are on the beach of Fort Pierce, Florida, my grandfather's filming antics with the Super 8mm camera (crazy thought of it being a "moving camera"), Amelia Earhart's home on Indrio Road, during our return to Kentucky we stopped in Macon, Georgia to visit our Aunt Sharon and her mother and then "All The Snow" we came home to in South Shore, Kentucky!

Hope you like them.
