Just for Skyepuppy

Skyepuppy - I found my pictures of the Arch. Both the ones I took of the actual Arch and those taken from inside through the tiny windows. Allow me to say that I flunked each and every one of your photography lessons with those photos. They shall one day be scrapbooked (I'm still working on year four of my kid-life, so I have a ways to go) - but they shall not appear on here for you. But if you do want "what NOT to do" photos for your page, I have zillions.

Anyway, here is the picture in the elevator. That's my Dad sporting the festive hat. He has always worn those hats for as long as I've ever known him - until recently when he has taken up baseball caps part time. Baseball caps that say things like "Don't forget my senior discount."

Anyway, please note I wore my St. Louis Arch shirt TO the Arch. As I recall, that was a specific plan in my 9 year old head. As for the rest of it - well, it's just head to toe ROUGH. Ahh the awkward years.

Oh and I have no idea who the man is that I'm talking to. I must not have been listening in the NEVER TALK TO STRANGERS movie we no doubt saw in school.

I LOVE the shorts...and is that a visor that you're sporting?

Very, very cool!

You've come such a long way! And I can say that only because I've come at least as far myself.

Yes the shorts were ultra cool - and I noticed after perusing the REST of the vacation photos that I also owned them in other color versions. God bless the 80's.

Anyway, yes, tht is a visor and I have NO clue why I'm wearing it. Sometimes I frighten myself.

I think you should post a tribute to how far you have come as well...must have been good ole Evans that transformed us into who we are today!!

Well, while I would (maybe) do a post like that, I have no pictures from the "old Christina" days. They all still reside with my family far, far away.

Perhaps that's a good thing...

Hey...no fair! Would you believe it if I told you my parents have moved?

By the way, I just wanted to say that I like the new picture of you on the side. Love the hair!

I think we may have a very similar hair color at the moment.aw

Bekah said...

Photos of the Big Croquet whatchamacallit by the Mississippi River? (smile)

The first time I went up in the Arch was right after the first, original Star Wars came out (back in the '70's). I felt rather "cosmic" as I stepped into those cars!

Nice pics!

Oh my goodness! My how you've changed.

If I looked at the pictures I took at the same age, you and I could be in a competition for "what NOT to do" photos. Only mine were at the San Diego Zoo.
