The Exhibitionists

“My brother and his family tried taking a family picture in our field, but the cows kept following them. The cows were doing this in the background of every single photo. Almost as if they wanted to be photographed.”

Sesame Boulevard

“That’s me being held by ‘terrifying’ Kermit and my older sister standing next to ‘on a bender’ Miss Piggy at the Red Hills Arts Festival in Louisville, MS sometime in the 80s.”

Hair & Makeup

“Setting up to take our first family picture, not sure why everyone needed to touch someone else’s face, but our two month old had the right idea and tried to make a run for it.”

Big Daddy, Little Baby

“My dad is a big man, and I was a little baby. The details in the couch including a juice box sliding between cushions, and a crack in the wall covered with tape, both highlights our living situation back then. Our house may not have been rich, but the love was.”

Disney Drama

“1985, Disneyworld. I’m the pouty little girl in the bunny hat, next to my sister and cousin and in front of my parents. I don’t remember what happened but it sure seems like I did or said something inappropriate before the photo was taken.”

Playing Possum

“That’s my grandfather (Pappy) kneeling, my sister in his lap, and my cousin standing. I believe it was my uncle’s possum – he was known for taking in and rehabbing animals in a spare bathroom. This was taken in 1969 in Grand Junction, Tennessee.”
