It’s Throw Back Thor’s Day (aka Throwback
Thursday on Facebook & #TBT on Twitter, I don’t post consistently every Thursday,
but on the days when I’m in scanning mode, I take the time.
I started posting because I started scanning
all the photos we rescued that the firemen thoroughly doused in putting out the
fire that took my home in 2011. I’m
still scanning sporadically. It was much
too overwhelming to do all at once and there are hundreds of them still to go. I keep going
It’s kind of fun to put some of them into PowerPoint
framed and prettied up a bit along with a bit of history – my version of
scrapbooking.
Having been an Air Force Brat through all of
my school years, we moved every three years.
I made and lost more friends than many people will ever have. I find pictures of past friends and am amazed
that I remember their first names.
Fortunately, in 1962 Mom let me buy the school annual for the Pyote
Panthers, so I could look up the two fellow brats I’m with in this photo. The
Pyote School was an old brick building that contained grades 1-12. There were 10 seniors and 7 juniors, etc...
Mom had
chopped my hair again and I hated it, but beauty shop was not in Mom’s lexicon. I was into can-cans and circle skirts which
made my 22 inch waist look even smaller.
I kept a 23” waist into my 40’s which cost a lot in alterations as
nothing off the rack ever fit me.
So here’s my throw back for this week from
Pyote, Texas 1962.
