Wayback Machine - Christmas Eve, 1962
As has been tradition since well before I was born, my mom's family always gets together on Christmas Eve for dinner. We still do.
These times were something I looked forward to all year... even as a child, I would have traded Christmas morning for another night together with the family.
From playing with Dave and getting into trouble when we were kids, to going out into the workshop and having coffee and talking by the wood stove just a couple of years before he died... my memories of Christmas Eves spent with him are something that I cherish.
There were so many times that our moms had to yell at us.. "If you two boys don't straighten up, Santa Claus won't be coming!" He always did, though.
The years passed and we grew older... and Santa was no longer on our minds. But I still looked forward to Christmas Eve every year... the time when the we come together to celebrate the season with each other.
I love this photo for many reasons. Not the least of which is the fact that my dad is wearing his Gulf shirt.. and a huge smile. I love that I can look at Dave's dad here, and see in him the cousin that I grew up with. I love that I somehow can get a sense of who my grandpa was through this photo... and that my grandma was preoccupied with my mom, who was preoccupied with her niece.
This photo was taken by Dave's mom in 1962, three years before Dave was born, and eight years before I came along. Five years after this image was made, my Grandfather Justus passed away. And twenty-two years after that, the little girl in this photo would have a son of her own... who I am still hanging out with at the kid's table again this year.

Last week, I posted this photo of some dudes driving on U.S. Highway 70 while it was still under construction.
This photo was taken behind my mom's old house. My mom is the one behind the sign, and the other two girls are her cousins. This is also at the site of the new highway while it was being built.

My entire childhood is filled with memories of my Grandma Justus as the sweet and kindhearted woman that she was with all of her grandchildren.
But make no mistake... she was "Depression-Era" tough, through and through.
Here she is with my mom in 1933, outside of my Grandpa's garage.

Dad took this one of mom on their boat during a summer trip to the lake.
I love the determined look on her face here... it says a lot about her.

My parents share a dance at a party in their home. I will always be impressed by the fact that my father built this house. Mom is impressed by the fact that in those days, they brought in the lawn chairs for the guests to sit in because they did not have much furniture.

My mom is in the ICU after suffering a heart attack earlier today. She had two stents placed in an artery, and is recovering this evening. This had been building for the past few days... but mom, true to her character, kept insisting that she was fine. Was she ever surprised to find out that she actually wasn't...
I was over at my mom's on Sunday looking for some treasures in her photos and I came across this one.
Mom said that her brother had just come back from the air force and they went for a bike ride together. She borrowed his bow and arrow.
She said that her brother heard a guy whistle at her and was very surprised because she was his little sister.
So neat to hear these memories my mom has.

I took this photograph in 1979... it is the first photo added to the "Way Back" series that was taken by me. The rule of thirds is very loosely applied here.... which is kinda wild given that I had no idea what that was.

This is what happens when a nine year old carves the jack-o-lantern and takes the photograph.
My dad gave me a bunch of slides of his tour in Vietnam.
This is one of him that I really like a lot.

Upgraded to Lr5 and was checking that the photos on the external hard drive were in the catalog as they ought to be, when I came across this one.

It truly amazes me that they all still get together on a regular basis today... 61 years later. All three of the other girls in this photo came to the hospital to visit my mom when she had her heart attack last month... one from Kentucky, and one from Alabama.
Friendships like that are priceless.
