Day 16, hmmph. Let me just say, I know that Lain loves the hard prompts. She wants you to tell the hard stories. I get that. Today's prompt... the naughty chair. She wants us to talk about punishments when we were little. Yeah. Not going there. Who wants to talk about being hit. I don't. I get that some of the stories that surround getting in trouble are good stories. I constantly got in trouble for things that my sister said I did. And that I may have done because of her constant … [Read more...]

LOAD514 – Day Fifteen, It’s A Dorothy Hamill
May 16, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Today's prompt was fashion victim. For this prompt, I thought about fashion. I really did. But for the last LOAD past perfect, I did a LO of my sister and I on Christmas Day in 1972 showing off all of our outfits that we received. It's a cute LO. I'll take a picture of it for you later. Today, I decided to use this photo of me the day I got my Dorothy Hamill hair cut. It's interesting. There are two photos of me here. The first is me on the phone with my long hair. The second photo … [Read more...]
LOAD514 – Day Fourteen, Bye-Bye Wiggly Tooth
May 15, 2014 by Leave a Comment
My goodness... Sometimes I love the prompts, sometimes no. Today, it was "sick day." Now, I've done sick day LOs. I did my mom sick. I've done me sick. I've done my son taking his allergy meds in the bathtub. And, honestly, I did more than one December Daily page of me sick. I'm not really feeling sick. So, bye-bye sick day, hello wiggly tooth! May 14, 2014 my son lost his first tooth. It has been "wiggly" for almost 6 weeks. The big boy tooth was already as tall as his baby teeth, … [Read more...]
LOAD514 – Day Thirteen, wow that’s my mom
May 14, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Today it's "the best of the best." Again, I had a hard time with the prompt. Oh well. So I was thinking about these great pictures my dad took of my mom in 1963. And. As she turned 70 last week, I thought it was fitting to do a LO of her. She is absolutely beautiful here. So stunning. There is so much love shown in these photos. I wouldn't say that they were taken at the best point in their relationship, that is something only they can say. But. I sure do see the love. I'm so glad that I … [Read more...]
LOAD514 – Day Twelve, just too small…
May 13, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Today's prompt... Seeds of the future. Hmph. I thought about this all day long. Really I did. I did a LO about what I wanted to be when I grew up. There are no pictures of me crafting, of me with dolls, of me doing much of anything... Unless I was with a camera, which I talked about yesterday. So, at 8:00pm last night, I was sitting on the couch, with a very nice headache. I got up, went to my desk, and held up two pictures. One was Sean at Disneyland with Pluto. The other with Sean … [Read more...]
LOAD514 – Day Eleven, Everybody Loves Pete!
May 12, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Today we had a very easy prompt, Puppy Love. The first dog that I remember we had as a family was Pete. When my Grandpa Dapper came to visit in late summer 1982, he told my mom and dad that kids need a dog. He and my mom went down to the pound... And here came Pete. He didn't have favorites, he loved us all the same. He hated squirrels and the mail carriers. He loved spaghetti sauce and snow. He was hit by a car the first winter we had him. We all really did love him. He was a good … [Read more...]
LOAD514 – Day Ten, a peek into Daddy’s World
May 11, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Today's prompt. The telephone. Yep, the telephone. Is that what I did? Nope. Is that what I planned to do? Yep. I was trying hard to find a photo of me and a telephone. It didn't happen. I've got 1000's of slides from my childhood that are sitting in a box in my family room. My dad marked a few of the boxes. I swore there was a photo of me on the phone... I spent 3 hours looking for it, while I wrote descriptions on the slide boxes. I never found the photo. What I did find was … [Read more...]
LOAD514 – Day Nine, The Bus Stops Here
May 9, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Today's prompt was "The Little Red School House." What an interesting prompt. Of course, I went a looking through the slides, yet again. I was looking for Jefferson Elementary School, or the actual building of Flint Open School in 1976 or so. I couldn't find it. Boy it's hard searching for photos. Then, I found this... A great picture of Cook Elementary School in Flint, Michigan. I did not go to this school. I looked at going to this school. I remember spending a day there, and being … [Read more...]
LOAD 514 – Day Eight, Music Junkie
May 8, 2014 by 1 Comment
For today's prompt, we are back to music. Soundtrack of your life. Well, hell. What part. I saw the example and thought, I could do the Wedding Song by Peter, Paul, and Mary. It makes me cry every time, and I walked down the isle to John by it. It's a great story, and kind of a sound track. Then I found this picture. Me in 1972 with two record players... One was my Fisher Price record player, which I loved! The other, a real one, and real records all around me. Ok, so they are Disney … [Read more...]
LOAD514 – Day Seven, It All Began Today
May 7, 2014 by Leave a Comment
So, I've mentioned before that I recently finished my December Daily. When I heard the prompt: Most Wonderful Time of the Year, I wanted to puke. I did not want to do a Christmas LO. I really didn't. But I can't deny it. Christmas is my most favorite time of year. I plan out my calendar weeks in advance, and try to ensure we have a great time. Christmas last year sucked. It was like pulling teeth finishing the daily. So, I went back to my first Christmas. Well, technically my … [Read more...]
