Take Me Back Tuesday

So I am a little late today, because our desktop computer decided to get a spyware virus! Ack, I hate those! So after an evening with a ton of frustration and a morning with a little System Restore, we are up and running again!

I know you were hoping for more picture of my family's plaid clothes, but alas I didn't have time to scan anything. Instead you get my Angel and one of her first Valentines Day presents:

Take me back to February 2005:

Look! Grammy sent me a Lammy!!

She is squishy and I must mush her into my face (I used to do this with all my stuffed animals!)

Thank you Grammy!!

Quotable Sunday ~Football

Of course, in honor of Super Bowl Sunday we have Football Quotes!

Cause there's only one reason for doing anything that you set out to do. If you don't want to be the best, then there's no reason going out and trying to accomplish anything. ~Joe Montana

Football is a game played with arms, legs and shoulders but mostly from the neck up. ~ Knute Rockne

Football isn't necessarily won by the best players. It's won by the team with the best attitude. ~ George Allen

Football is an honest game. It's true to life. It's a game about sharing. Football is a team game. So is life. ~Joe Namath

The game is choreographed; it is mental, it is physical, it is a battle. People can feel those hits when they are in the stadium, you feel them and you see the velocity of the players. ~ Joe Namath

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will. ~Vince Lombardi

Here you go Laurel…

I’m Here, Plaid, and Take Me Back Tuesday

Hey folks!  I have been a slacker blogger and I am sorry!  I am here, I haven’t been around to comment, and I haven’t posted, but I am here.  The end of the week always gangs up on me at work, and I never get around to posting.  Then Saturday came and Hubby was home on a weekend day (Yea!), and then for some reason on Sunday, I didn’t want to blog, I didn’t want to enter giveaways, and I never got the chance to visit all of you!  I sure hope to get caught up this week!

So here we are on Tuesday, well Monday Night actually.  I give you Plaid from 1977!  I mean really, who thought this was a good idea?  I was 8, Matt was 11 (that would be my brother BTW) and my parents were young.  Oh wait I say that every week don’t I?!?! 

I just like these pictures, because we rarely got a photo with each parent at the holidays. 

Yeah, Plaid! 

Just in case you didn’t notice my socks, they have Holly Hobby on them…remember her???

 

You know you want to post your Holly Hobby socks too, right?  Just head on over to Kari’s and join in!

Take Me Back Tuesday ~Don’t You Wish It Was Summer!

Take me back to Summer of 1971! Don’t you wish you were in your shorts and sundress too? I sure do!!

This one always make me think “What you talking’ about Willis”? (Sorry, I wasn’t even that big of a Different Stokes Fan!)

My brother and I, and the best dog every “Smokey” in the summer of 1971! I would have been 2 1/2, my brother was 5 1/2. Sometimes I love looking at these pictures just because I love how much my parents neighborhood has changed! If that swing set was still there, you so would not be able to see any house behind it, as the trees have gotten so big!!
