    Back in May, I went home and started going thru mom's old 35 mm slides! I took about 80 of the old ones and had them burned onto a CD! It is kinda like taking the old shoebox full of old pictures and reliving your past! Us old geezers know about shoeboxes full of pictures, you youngun's bear with us, ok? Here's a few of my treasured moments! Hope you enjoy!

    Russ, believe me, I'd love to still have that gas station! Most of it was painted metal with few plastic parts! Somewhere between Hawaii and Nebraska, it went away! Oh the sacrifices a military brat had to go through!:D

    Martinius, those bikes were Christmas 1960. My sister got to enjoy hers on Christmas day! I didn't get to ride my until I got over the measles that she so kindly gave me right before Christmas! They are Schwinn bikes, hers was 26", mine was 24".

    I recognize the bikes, too. My Sister and I got similar bikes one Christmas. Great pictures. I recognize a lot of the stuff in them.

    Back in the day...

    We used to show dad's 34 F*rd PU on the Midwest circuit! Omaha, Council Bluff, Des Monies, etc. They had a pure original classic, pre war classification, which I was facsinated with. Here's a few of the classic, now almost forgotten, cars from that era.
