Photographs @ MindSay

Can someone tell me what car this is that I'm in? 

I remember the day this photo was taken.  The year was 1972 (or 1973) and I am two years old.  Everyone had gathered at the shore of Lake Michigan to go swimming.  I went back to the car after a yellow jacket bit me on the ankle, so I was afraid to go back out.  My mother and her friends were behind the camera coaxing me with smiles and silly noises to come out from hiding and join the fun.  I like that you can see all the garbage, diapers, and toilet paper rolls on the floor of the back seat.  In the background you can see the waves of old Lake Michigan.  Oh, the good old days...

Anyone else remember what the world was like when you were two years old?

Even though gas is $4.09 a gallon I decided to drive around today. We actually started out at the store, but the older kids were a bit of a handful touching everything. So I got a few things to add to the clown costume, and started home. Got about 2 miles from home and decide to drive around taking pictures. The first ones with the cows, and then horses are within those 2 miles of home even though I live smack in town. It may even be closer to 1 mile then 2.

 

For some reason when I left the house this afternoon I decided to take my camera. I always wish I had when I am out, so today I did. Thought I would spare anyone wanting to see these from having to click on each little thumbnail and made a slideshow instead. Hope you like the pics. They are all just scenery of the county next to mine since we live about 3 minutes to the county line. Lots of farm country out there.

 

 

A few select photos from the visit to the Renn Faire from this past weekend.


Savannah's costume is one I made last week. I was pretty busy!


There was a fabulous falconry show. The guy knew his stuff and was really down to earth. I was envious a bit. It has been a dream of mine since I was very little to be into falconry. This one was called "Fluffy".


A necklace I loaned Nomad.


Spotted her through the crowd.


This one is called "Jack" because he is blind in one eye.


A better view of her costume. I didn't add any boning to the corset though I probably should have.


Here is a view of my dress I made for this year's fair. It's not quite any time period but a medley of them. I wanted to create a "mourning gown". Like my Edward Gorey pose? Haha.


The whole time watching this beautiful fellow I was thinking of Myclette. I was lucky enough to capture him winking.

I do have quite a few other pictures that I would love to post but I wont because of keeping anonymity for certain family members. So unless I get permission I will have other pictures not from the Renn Faire for tomorrow.

I found the software!  So here are a few pictures from Margaret's garden. The sale starts this week for the iris and peonies.
