Hot Tub
“This is me and my sister, back on the farm in Saskatchewan where we grew up. My grandmother used to fill this wash tub with the hose and we called it the “swimming pool”. I am the one with the suspicious toothless smile and the half shaven doll. When my sister showed her friend this picture she was asked “Why is your brother holding a squeegee?”. Sister….I am her older sister….and I have no explanation for the squeegee.”

Sour Octopus
“When I was ten, I lived in Japan with my parents, who are Baptist missionaries. My mom was always on the alert for photos of Japanese culture and cuisine. She needed good pictures to show the churches back in the USA who were contributing financially to their ministry. So, I got drafted into modeling with fresh octopus, a tasty morsel from the sea.”

Mum’s The Word
“Notice the moon shine jug, shot gun, lucky horse shoe, and the glimmer of a wash board to the left decorated with a bow. Shelly chose the best mom jeans ever which were not only high rise, but I suspect she may have buttoned them with her teeth.
I believe she and Dan not only had a two-fer coupon on the button down shirts but also the haircut/style. Dan had a lovely Mum made to commemorate the 1983 Sadie Hawkins dance. Nothing says love like a lovely stuffed Pac-Man.”

The Little People
“I’m the boy sitting next to the two Umpa Lumpas (sisters), with my mom and brother right behind me. Soon after this fun-filled afternoon, my sister dropped a glass bottle of milk on my foot and I got 24 stitches.”
