Throw Back, WAY BACK

 


Way back in high school... 1960, 10th grade, 1961, 11th grade, 1962, 12th Grade.

Below is Christmas 1981, David was 16 and 6/2'', Daniel was 14 and 6 feet.
the photo is Dec ,and in Feb 2 months later they were 17 and 15.

By the end of another year, Dan grew 5 inches to 6'5''.
David grew 11 inches in 7th and 8th grade. He complained of bones hurting, the doc said, its because he grew so fast in one year.

I was a shrimp Mama, at 5'6''.


Christmas 1981

Top 2006, bottom left David 2020, Bottom Right Daniel 2020
I had this for Throwback Thursday, but what better day to post it than my 76th Birthday.

the three of us are now, ages 76, 55 and 53.. 
they are still TALL and I have shrunk 2 inches, so the appear even taller.

Happy Birthday to ME.

A very happy birthday. You had you children much younger. Mine are 47,38 and 35 me being 74. Buddy likes that we share a 7 and 4 but reversed. You look great in all the pics.

P.S. The dog and birthay cake are adorable. It seems like the dog's tail is wagging at the same speed that the candles are flickering and the eyes are moving.

Ella said...

You look great for somebody who's turning 30?! 🥳 🤣
So many candles for a cake? 🎂 Let’s face it, you’re getting older! 🤣

Fun Throwback photos, and I wish you a very happy birthday - even if birthdays as one grows older do seem to involve some rather mixed feelings sometimes! (says she who recently went from being in "early" retirement to being an Old Age pensioner, and has not quite come to terms with that yet...)

Rose said...

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Hapoy Birthday dear Sandra!

HAPPY HAPPY 76th to you Sandra....we have come a long way since the 60's..I mean who'da thunk we'd have internet, blogs, animals talking and all kinds of technology. I say kudos to you for keeping up and oh those handsome boys you raised.

Martha said...

Loved seeing all the photos, I'm a shrimp mom too. My boys have towered over me since high school. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope it's a fantastic day :)

LOVE these throwback photos! Gosh, that 1981 pix you look like David and Dan's sister, not their mom! Hope your day's super blessed and all your wishes come true!

Jo said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAREST SANDRA! You're looking great. The trip down memory lane is very special. Have a wonderful year ahead. Jo PS I'm trying to open Big's blog but keep logging out. He seems better? I'll try again shortly. xx

Chatty Crone said...

Oh my gosh - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! AND MANY MORE!
Loved seeing your photos.
Boy your boys are tall! WOW.
Nice looking family there.
You look awesome!

Ruth Hiebert said...

Happy Birthday . What's this whole idea that we shrink as we get older. I've never been tall, but am now under 5 feet. Yikes1

Inger said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, dear Sandra. I love that black and white current picture of you. So glad you posted it.

Your boys grew fast, as did I, my bones hurt too. Look what nice looking guys they are now.

It was fun to see the pictures of your younger self.

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!

Awwwww...You are such a cutie...

Happy Birthday!!

I'm so sorry you can't celebrate it in a traditional way

But

Pizza is a great alternative...

Love this B&W of you and your sons are so handsome.

They are tall like mine.

Me?? I'm 5 foot 2, eyes of blue...etc

Steve is 6'2 and Mark is 6'5...they both take after Dave's Dad who at his tallest was about 6'6...

Again

Happy Birthday and many, many more...
Sue

Happy Birthday! I love all the photos you shared.
Couldn't you have gone through the drive thru at Culver's or don't they have one. Or do you just not like drive thrus?

Happy happy birthday to you!! 🎶🎶😊🌸. What fun to see those photos. And besides looking fantastic, I always think you're the brilliant techie!! I was just wondering if there's a sugar free ice cream. I sure could go for some. I'd celebrate your birthday! 😀
