As you know I'm on a project to scan my old slides.
So far it's going well. It's a learning process. Many of the slides were of poor quality but anything that was a decent slide is worth having.
So in doing the slides we often say, "I don't remember that!" Sometimes we just burst out laughing at what we see.
I will use two slides to bring an event together. I've written about the adoption of our son.
We had to go a hundred miles away . Somehow things got late and we were leaving the city about 5 in the winter evening darkness. The Micro Manger soon found out that Babe needed some food. What would we do? Most things were closed by that time.
We found a recreational dealer ship that was open and popped in to see if we could heat some milk. Yes, we were more than welcome and they were happy to hear our story
By the time Babe was fed we'd made a deal to by a travel trailer. So we always joke about getting a new son and travel trailer on the same day.
So to show you some slides here's the trailer and the young camper.
I love your story of getting your first baby and buying a trailer at the same time! Those pictures are wonderful! The last picture could have been one of my babies.
ReplyDeleteWe had some fun times when we were young.
DeleteThat was an expensive way to heat baby milk but hopefully well worthwhile in terms of enjoyment in the future.
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed the trailer . It was good when you had little kids.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteCute photos of your son! The travel trailer looks nice.
It is great to have these old photos and happy memories!
Have a great day!
I had completely forgotten that I had these slides.
Deletesuch cute photos and sweet memories!
ReplyDeleteThanks. They do bring back many memories and lots of laughs.
DeleteThat's a cute little baby you brought home!
ReplyDeleteAs he says about that photo, "I was damn adorable!"
DeleteThat was a life-changing day in more than one way.
ReplyDeleteKids do change your life.
DeleteAdorable baby! This is working quite well, it seems to me.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lot of work but it's usually pretty close to what the slide was.
DeleteThat's a great picture of your son! You must have made the salesman's day at the travel-trailer place. He probably still tells the story of the couple who came in to heat baby formula and left with a travel trailer.
ReplyDeleteI never thought about it that way but we probably did give them a good story.
DeleteI imagine the dealer told his wife the same story. I heated up some milk and sold a trailer today!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds funny now
DeleteI love how the old slides tell this beautiful story of your son's adoption.
ReplyDeleteI had totally forgotten that I had these slides.
DeleteWhat a fun story! I bet you had many great adventures in that trailer with your growing son!
ReplyDeleteThe trailer was well worth it.
DeleteWhat a great walk down memory lane!
ReplyDeleteThere are many memories. You should hear us laugh at some of the photos,
DeleteGraham had the same thought I did.
ReplyDeleteOnly Graham could think of that one.
DeleteThat is one adorable baby!
ReplyDeleteHe was cute.
DeleteWhat a wonderful story, thanks for sharing. Your slides look great!
ReplyDeleteI'm satisfied with what I'm getting . The original photos were poor.
DeleteI love it! Great memories.
ReplyDeleteWe did some things back then that we'd never do today.
DeleteI anjoyed reading this! Being adopted!
ReplyDeleteIt was a good life for us even though teenagers can be rough.
DeleteSounds like a good day!
ReplyDeleteWe look back at it many times.
DeleteWonderful, wonderful story. You remind me of my parents. Or myself, but that's another story.
ReplyDeleteNow you're going to have to tell me how I remind you of your folks
DeleteOh gosh! That is just the cutest baby and a wonderful story to go along with it, too.
ReplyDeleteCamping and kids is a fabulous combination! You got him started early :)
ReplyDeleteA fine looking trailer and a fine looking son. Still looking forward to images from your times in The Arctic.
ReplyDeleteSuch an adorable baby and I can imagine how happy you were to welcome him into your lives. I have adopted children as well. How funny that you stopped to heat milk and came away with a travel trailer!
