How About You . . .

As my 80th gets closer and closer, I have been going through old photos.  

My parents had a good friend who had a photography studio, 
so every year off we would go to Dodgeville, Wisconsin 
to have our pictures taken.  

My brother didn’t think it was such a big deal, but I did.  
I ALWAYS managed to get car sick.  
Have you ever traveled twisty, curvy, country roads, 
like those from Lone Rock to Dodgeville Wisconsin?

I am happy I have the pictures though
I have many more pictures to show you!

What a wonderful photo! When I see old photos, it is amazing to me how quickly time has flown by! I used to get car sick when we visited our grandparents in Arkansas - something about those hilly, winding roads... ugh... It's a good thin you were able to get some good photos!

That's a sweet picture, Lynne, but boo on the car sickness. Ah, memories...some good, others not so good!

OMG, you and your brother were adorable (you still are)! And yes, I have driven that route and it is twisty, curvy--but beautiful. ;-)

You and your brother are adorable. I grew up in Sheboygan, so I am a Wisconsin girl too.

The photos truly are treasures, and I always love seeing ones such as this - Especially ones that have the best and fun memories connected to them, and YES that includes ones like your getting sick. My brother still remembers when I did after he did, and he was only about 6 years old. Good times! :-)!!!

Lovely photo. When I was little I used to always get car sick too! Day trips and holidays were a nightmare for me.

How adorable. My mom would have a photographer come to the house where we'd sit on the piano bench with his portable screen behind us.

I get carsick - I find it better if I ride in the front passenger seat of a car. But what a gem - I wish I had those time of pictures of myself. I don't.

What a darling little girl you were (and beautiful lady), Lynne! I've never gotten carsick but I've had several dogs who did a number on my car driving to Michigan! Not the same of course, but the cleanup is something a mother always manages to do! I'm in awe that you are approaching eighty. I have now a better appreciation of the wonderful, happy, and busy life you live. As I get older-- next year I'll hit that milestone of sixty, I pray I'm as healthy and happy as my blogging friends, like you, who have this winning spirit.

Thanks so much for your visit. And a Belated Happy Birthday to Scott!
