Embarrassing picture Moday
by chuckofish
Well, it’s that time of year again when the old Halloween pictures come out, much to the chagrin of some people. Here is a picture of daughter #1 (age 5) and the boy (not quite 3) in 1989. Daughter #1 is (yet again) a witch, wearing the costume my mother made for her a few years earlier. The boy is (of course) a super hero. He is happily wearing his sister’s leotard and tights and her old white snow boots, which he loved and wore frequently–and why not? They were the next best thing to cowboy boots. He is also wearing the Batman kerchief (as a cape) that he wore every day to school that year. Yes, the boy always displayed a unique personal style.
P.S. I also want to let you faithful readers know that the concert I went to on Friday night was possibly the best ever.
I have seen Dylan, Springsteen, Sting, Haggard, Knopfler, Lyle Lovett (several times), and Guster (to name a few), but Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives were awesome. It didn’t hurt that I was sitting in the fourth row of a smaller venue. But it was wonderful. Great musicians all, they were in fine voice and having fun. Priceless.
And earlier that evening the Cardinals beat the Braves!



CLASSIC. I think I was a witch at least four times, too.
The month as just begun….
No kidding. I’ve got some classic Halloween photos just waiting for the scanner!
Completely adorable! I was always a witch (maybe a ghost once?) and Mother made the best capes and hats.
I was always a witch except when I was a clown that one time. I think I was a scarecrow once in 6th grade when I had to come up with my own costume and fast. And there was that cat costume…
I don’t think I was ever a cat — it probably didn’t fit me!
LOVE Mary’s witch costume. It really is iconic. But how great is the outfit I’m wearing?? I really think that I would have worn tights every day. I mean, Errol Flynn wore them, why shouldn’t I?! I wish I could pull them off now… Sadly, my legs are almost as skinny as Dad’s sooooo…. I won’t be seen in them ever again.
Stop begging for compliments about your beefy, muscular thighs! Haha–they are hardly “skinny”! Anyway, you rocked that costume and props for not having to wear a diaper at that point!
D1 CALVES, BRU
At least I wasn’t about to vomm in that pic!! Tres cute! And I’m glad the concert was so rockin’ 🙂
