Photostory Friday - 60 years...

My parents have been married for 59 years and six months tomorrow. That means in six months from tomorrow, it will be 60 years. SIXTY! And guess what? I'm not THAT old? See, my baby picture - it's color! And they didn't even pay extra for the color (my youngest daughter likes to ask what year colors were invented - I tell her to go ask her aunt Ruthie since she was alive around that time - ha ha!). Yeah, this is what happens when your parents have a whole herd of kids and I happen to be the youngest.
There is a purpose behind this photo today. It's a big secret, but I trust you not to tell my mom and dad. Dad may be on Facebook but he doesn't dare venture anywhere else, so my blog is safe. If he should stumble upon this - close your eyes, dad! It's a secret.

I rather enjoy making "books". I've made several using Snapfish, and this spring I discovered Blurb when I made a photobook for my mom's 80th birthday and let me tell ya what, I'm in love! It's fantastic! So, it was so much fun, I decided another book was in order and I have the most perfect opportunity to do that in conjunction with mom and dad's 60th anniversary!

This book is going to be different than my other books I've done, which was devoted solely to my parents. This book is for their family. All - crap, I used to know how many - like - 80 or so of us will have at least one photo of themselves in this book. Us "kids" - we get to have more than one. Starting with our baby photos!

So today, I stopped over at the parents house only to discover they weren't there. Perfect. I went through the photo albums and snuck a bunch of pictures (sneaking them back will be the tricky part). Unfortunately, my scanner won't work with my new computer. So, I took pictures of pictures. Some of them turned out great, others, not so much. I need to kick some scanner butt tomorrow, me thinks. In the meantime, though, what better thing to share than a photo of me as I looked just a couple of years ago.
