Throwback Thursday




 Throwback Thursday -- 1977- I Think



My baby boy, circa 1977, with his very first ice cream cone -- EVER -- after seeing a Micky Mouse show at the local mall.

I have been blogging for a long time but I don't think many people know I have a son.  I don't post about him and his family because they don't allow me to include photos.  That makes me sad, though, because he was such a beautiful child who has grown into a handsome man with a lovely family. 

He is the father of my three grandchildren -- Nathan, age 9, Kathryn, age 7 and Emily, age 15 months. 

I remember the day of this photo so well.  I had bought his outfit at Joske's and he absolutely hated it and I think this was the only time he ever wore it! He got so excited at this Micky Mouse show that he was literally hyperventillating! He had such a wonderful time and then......he got his first ice cream cone.  He loved it! And he didn't get it all over my mother's car!

It was such an exciting day and I really like looking back at those "old" photos! I might have to start posting some of him "back in the day" -- I don't think they would have a problem with that.

Anyway, this is my TBT for today!

I love your son's expression and his ice cream mustache :) An adorable pic--and a handsome tyke.

I think I was more excited to see what my children's first reaction would be to ice cream, than they were. Of course after the first lick, they were sold :)

I've never seen that photo before, but I remember him so well at that age! Why didn't he like the outfit?

Bonnie -- oh yeah, all it takes is one lick! But, he didn't like chocolate!

Joanie -- I am not sure why he didn't like it. I found it at Joske's and thought it was cute and tried to try it on him and he just fussed so I did the logical thing and bought it anyway (go figure) and when I tried to put it on him he just cried but we went anyway and he got over it but he never wore it again. I need to post more pics of him when he was little -- like the ones of him with your little car.

What to Do While Waiting

 Yes, once again, I am waiting — just biding my time until my surgery appointment on  Wednesday.  Am I nervous — maybe a little — do I still...
