My favorite pictures in the my world
This is me and three of my best friends from high school, during homecoming week my sophomore year. We had a different theme for each day, and this particular day was camouflage day (obviously.) We were shocked and in awe of ... nothing, if I recall correctly. Another theme we had was "oldies day" and one of my friends and I had these matching poodle skirts that our moms made. The guy in that picture wearing the tie-dyed shirt has fake sideburns that he made by cutting up his mom's bristly vacuum attachment. Heh.
Four of my favorite cousins and me, when we were in Florida for the tall one's wedding (1992).
My dad is a big fan of naps, and he was taking one on this particular day when Gabe, my cousin's little boy, grabbed his bear and crawled up on the couch beside him. Gabe is not really asleep, just faking a nap, which is one reason I think this picture is so cute.
This is my dad, two of my cousins, and me (in the red). I think it's funny that my dad carries my extra-large cat around in exactly the same way he's carrying me here. And please try not to be afraid of Dad's hair, even though it's ginormous. It was the late 70s after all.
This is from the "photo shoot" I did for my cousin's Easter cards - she always sends a wallet-sized picture of her little boy along with the cards, and I have always taken the pictures. He's a big ham. I think this picture is great - he's like, "Well, I'm off to argue a case in court - as soon I finish hunting for Easter eggs."
This is some of my cousins and me, from 1995 (since I have 40 first cousins, I have lots of cousin pictures. Heh.)
This is me and two of my closest cousins, having a picnic (1984).
This is my mom's parents - Grandpa had dementia and was bedfast for the last couple of years that he was alive. After we put a hospital bed in their house for him, Grandma told my aunt one day that she missed having him there when she was asleep. My aunt told her to just squeeze into his hospital bed, and they both fell asleep. I love, love, love this picture and I miss them both so much.
Scott and his niece and nephews, when the little one was about a month old or so. I made the kids incognito because I haven't gotten around to asking his sister about putting their pictures up - but you can still tell how cute they are and how cute Scott is with them. They adore him and vice versa.
My best girlfriends from high school (well, minus one) our senior year. We didn't routinely dress alike - we're all wearing the same shirt because we had baseball pictures that day, and five of us were managers or statisticians for the baseball team, while the other one played softball. I see them way too infrequently, and I miss them!
Two of my silly high school friends with infectious laughter (which I can almost hear when I see this picture). It's obvious that they need nothing more than my giant Velcro rollers and a stuffed mouse named Squeegee to be entertained.
The best study group ever, from graduate school. We're 'studying' for an animal physiology final, if that isn't obvious. :-) Two of us taught anatomy lab as grad assistants, so we had keys to the lab and it made a great place to study, with all the models and stuff. Pay no attention to the skinless guy in the corner, or, as we affectionately called him, Orange Guy With Good Muscles. It was the only model we had that had all three gluteal muscles visible. :-)
This is the same kid who is fake-napping in the other picture up there - he's standing by the garden at my grandma and grandpa's house, and I love that you can see my grandpa's old barn and the very old willow tree in the background. I just wish I'd had my lens hood on, which would have eliminated that flare. Boo.
My favorite picture of Scott. Isn't he cute? :-)
