Friday Foto Fiesta..those were the days...

-
It's Friday, It's Friday, Thank Goodness it's Friday!!!YIPPEE!I'm playing Candid Carrie's Friday Foto Fiesta Finish again (& I have a 3 day weekend!) .

So after you're done here, go over there and check out who's playing this week!!!

So you all know about my addiction to FACE BOOK... one of the best parts of facebook are all of the OLD pictures everyone posts... the good, the bad, the ugly....

then there are the pictures that make you sigh & think

"THOSE WERE THE DAYS.... "


This picture is from when I was 19...
camping out on a ferry from Greece to Italy...

laying out under the stars (freezing our butts off) meeting people backpacking from all over the world.

This was one of the best summers I have ever had... being young, backpacking through Europe with my sister & our friends....

SIGH.... Hope y'all have a great weekend!

Great picture! It's nice to see your past. I bet backpacking was one of the best trips/times of your life. Wish I had done it.

If you're interested in being my friend, how do I find you?
And if you're not, well just don't tell me so I don't cry.

What a wonderful memory and time in your life. I miss those days of travel myself. Just think, you're still livin a life abroad that many of us envy. I so wish I could be back in Europe living and traveling again.

Yeah, photos are memories we can see and enjoy and remember great times gone by! You had a charmed life as a teen/young adult...I'm sure your life is just as charmed now and your photos from now will be just as wonderful to look back on down the line!

On a personal note, since digital cameras I have not made paper photos...everything is on the computer and I've had two computers crash and lost all my pictures...you'd think I'd learn but I haven't...ugh...can we say SLOW?????

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
