Say Cheese! Old St. Paddy's Photos

Things have been crazier than usual around here so I'm hitting the photo archives again.

Andy, My Mother (95 in July), Dad (we lost him two years before Andy) and Sister (Andy's mom, had a birthday Saturday)

 My sister loves that sort of ants building a pyramid crazy, I do not.

Aunt Em and Elaine

We refer to this as the time it was so warm our fair Irish skin needed sun block and Elaine kept walking around the square so I had to go fetch her.

  2. Sweet poignant memories.... there are days when I like that kind of fun and days when I hate every minute of it. So much of that here in Camp Sunset for Seniors. (Say Cheese and stay happy).

    1. I'm hoping this will be a banner year because the cousin currently putting it together announced it could be our last. That would truly be sad, although it isn't the same without Aunt Ginny. I know what you mean about hating every minute of it, these old bones might be working out more but they still have something to say about too much walking and standing.
      Say Cheese! to you too, Sallie, hope the good weather holds down there.

    2. Indeed... the Brexit is a new battle, we have to fight. We will see. I hope one day we drive again there to the fantastisc Emerald Ireland.

      ...I read the information further on in the text about heroin. You have my compassion. Its sad. Sad to see and can't help...

      Sincerely, Heidrun

    1. With a name like, "Pat" there was a good chance that you were!
      You reminded me of the John Belushi movie, "Continental Divide" with your last post. Maybe it's time to see it again, it never plays on TV.

  8. Can I ask what happened to Andy...he looks so young and full of life. At least you have lots of memories.

    1. Andy got hooked on Oxy then heroin, Rose. He was doing well in rehab, but days after I saw him on Christmas he overdosed at home in the bathroom.
      The drug companies pushed Oxycontin and it was readily available until it was suddenly taken away, leaving so many kids to turn to heroin which was available and inexpensive. I can't even tell you how many of the kids on his soccer team died from the same thing. It's an epidemic that makes you want to beat the crap out of someone, but who?

  14. Memories are the sweetest things. They bring back not just the "still" moment, but also every feeling and memory attached to that moment and the people involved. This is why I love photography so much.
