Don't be shy. Just do it so we can all laugh at each other. I'll even start since it was my idea. I'm doing then & now because I came across this picture of my next younger sister, 2 years younger, and me taken a while back (I'd say). This was back before the interstates about the halfway point to visit Grandma, Grandpa, aunts, uncles, and cousins "up home". We'd get lunch at a great restaurant and in summer take a dip at the town park along the creek.

This picture is at the overlook for The Cove, the valley Grandma grew up in, not far from the town she and Grandpa raised their family in and lived where our mom is living. The picture was last summer. That's my same sister in the center and my 2 year older sister on the right

This last one is all of the original 5 kids, which I fall in the center of in ages... two older and two younger sisters. That's the same younger sister out of the pool, our younger sister (6 years) in the foreground, 2 year older sister on left, and oldest (4 years) in the middle

Later on in '68 we got another sister, then in '70 I finally got a brother when I was 15. A lot of help he was protecting all those sisters

kingsolver72 · 08-09-2020, 04:43 PM

I like this idea.
Me, my brother in law and my sister. About 5 years ago.
I’ll try to dig up more photos. Everything I do is on my phone. I may need to get creative.
Sorry about the camera quality.

Edit: 2nd pic.
me, my second oldest brother, my sister, my youngest brother, my nephews sons the bigger guy got married that day, my mom and my nephew.
Not quite 2 years ago.

kingsolver72 · 08-09-2020, 05:45 PM

I’m the middle kid too.

**FleetsidePaul** · 08-09-2020, 05:46 PM

In the second pic you look like you're thinking " I shouldn't have eaten those tacos..Where's the bathroom... Take the picture already'.

**Boog** · 08-09-2020, 05:50 PM

So do I post a shot of my mug and break the internet too? Hmm.

The little guy in the picture looks like he thinking, bet my dads uncle wished he didn’t eat those tacos, he must’ve waited too long to go to the bathroom.

yuccales · 08-09-2020, 06:00 PM

Started getting grease under the nails at a young age.

**FleetsidePaul** · 08-09-2020, 06:59 PM

I'm the handsome guy in the middle.

This is actually me and my hoodlum friends about 1980??? Rockin my 80's lame blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a pack of Camels in my pocket.

We got in a fight with some lunatic right after that picture was taken.

**57taskforce** · 08-09-2020, 10:58 PM

Ok I’ll bite... here’s a picture from this past spring when the guy who said he was going to get the bank to get the money to buy my Silverado and never came back... still have the truck and it’s not for sale anymore.
The last one is of me and all but 1 of my brothers and my dad... I’m the bearded one

I hope those kids in back are standing on something. Otherwise they were really tall.

It wasn't a mullet. It was just windy that day and it blew my hair back to one side.

Smart azz guys at work would call me Joe Dirt. But I didn't care because girls liked my hair like that. And I liked the girls. A lot.

I was standing in line at a hot dog stand in my uniform and a guy came up to me and said "Hey man do they let you grow your hair that long?'
I'm thinking. How stupid is this guy. Obviously they do.
So I told him no. I just woke up this morning and it was like this.

First one your family looks too happy to have been left hanging. Who took the picture, the evil BS artist thinking "heh heh heh, Let me get a picture of these folks all happy the truck is sold before I disappear into oblivion...mwah hah hah hah hah"?

Second picture, that picture looks ruined. Er rather, looks like ruins.

Nnnno. I'm a medium height kid there. Remember the surfer shirts? There are two in the picture. My buddy Jimmy Nine is wearing a ponderosa shirt. Remember those?

Very cool pictures, concept. Probably the coolest yet. It's good to know you're not actually green, Lee

Here is the whole famn damily in 1972, minus my dad who took the picture. See? What did I tell you about my eyes in photos.

Zippi · 08-10-2020, 06:58 AM

This is my ugly mug from back in 1972 when I was just out of basic training and starting in Tech school in San Antonio Texas as a Power Production Specialist in CE (Civil Engineer).

Wow we had pics like that when I was growing up. We lost them when I was like 12 in a rush to depart another state. Looking back I think my step dad was being chased by someone, law or otherwise.

67C10Step · 08-10-2020, 11:15 AM

Don't have ready access to any photos of Billy the kid, but here is my wife and I's senior photos from 1987 and a photo of us at a concert last year. We didn't know each other in high school, but met right after I graduated college. Married 26 years this past May.

My oldest sister, 4 years older. She was a huge influence on me. She passed away Dec 15th, '91 two weeks after turning 40. A brain aneurism took her life. She was a successful Silversmith/jewelry maker living in Taos, NM. She was married to the owner of KTAO, the first solar-powered radio station in America, maybe the world. She was an amazing and powerful and very health conscious human being taken at far too young an age. Her death also came just two weeks prior to my younger son's birth. She will always live on in many hearts. Also, every organ that can be donated (5?) found their way to others to allow them to live on in good health

67C10Step · 08-10-2020, 12:41 PM

"You look different with a cap on"

Tim,
Yeah, I am about 50 lbs heavier than in that first photo and ain't none of it hair.

Sorry to hear about your older sister. Seems the good ones get taken from us all too soon.

Good stuff here folks. Gives depth beyond just the name and trucks.

We’ve been married just a smig over 10 years.

You can tell your grandson is going to be a great big brother.
My big brother is moving to Alabama come this Saturday. I saw him this last Saturday and made sure to let him know that I am glad he is my brother.

Sounds like your big sister was an amazing person. You see by the picture that she was fun to be around. I’m thinking that she had bless countless people in her too short of journey.
Man it is sad to learn of your loss..
I hope I didn’t say anything wrong here... but this is the most moving thread I’ve read in all the years I’ve been here.

**Palf70Step** · 08-10-2020, 01:26 PM

Me with the oldest of my sisters (I am the oldest fart). WE are about 5-6 years old.

One of me and the family at Christmas 2019.

Hope nothing broke posting this.

67ChevyRedneck · 08-10-2020, 02:08 PM

Man, I take way more pics of my wife than "us", I guess for good reason

This isn't even recent, from last year.
