No not the playground kind! What could I mean then?
Does anyone remember these…
Recently I went through a box of slides from my childhood and earlier. The first picture above was from before I was even thought about. The second picture is of my mom in 1971, I was born but not in the picture. Mom can’t remember where I might have been on this particular camping trip. I would have been 9 months old.
Looking at all these old pictures is so fun and brings such warm feelings!
I was able to use the scanner to scan a whole “sheet” of them. It isn’t ideal but it worked for now. I am contemplating making a lampshade from slides as I saw on Pinterest. It does not look that difficult. I’ve seen other variations as well.
My 2nd birthday. October 1972.
Left–Us four kids going down the slide. I’m the first one in line. I’m probably 12-18 months. Right–The four of us. Looks like ABOUT 1 year, 3 years, 5 years and 9 year.
Left–My mom and 2 kids. Not sure who or when. Middle–Me at about 1+ years old. Right–My first birthday, October 1971
Simply put…this is very fun! Do you have slides to go through?
Go get them out!
Put a smile on your face and laugh a little. It’s worth it!
I am an Orthodox Christian, a deacon’s wife, a mother, and an aspiring Kindler of Joy.
I believe I’ve begun to understand (finally), by the grace of God, where we can begin to find happiness. True happiness. My heart longs for a deeper connection to those around me and to creation. I want to feel joy not only in myself but to see it on the face of people I love and those that God brings my way.
Thus, begins my journey to become a Kindler of Joy. It is a journey, a path of learning and growing. So I’ve created my blog as a reminder to myself, daily, to open my eyes and find the beauty and joy around me. I long to share this joy, to spread this joy and to inspire others to become Kindlers of Joy. When we kindle joy in others we spread a light throughout this dark world. A light that is desperately needed.
Won't you join me in spreading this light, this joy?
