The xmas tree looks familiar....did they borrow it from Charlie Brown and Lucy? LOL!

That's exactly what I was thinking! I guess they splurged on the dolls, tea set and the little red and chrome table and chairs and had nothing left for the tree. But hey, if you put enough tinsel on it.....it makes it look fuller.

I know that this was sometime ago, and memories may be fading, but do you recall any neighbors complaining about missing landscaping?

Good question Luis! Knowing my parents, I would not discount the possibility. However, from the looks of the tree, I think they might have done someone a favor!

That reminds me of the time in the late 70s when my brother, sister and my sister's best friend crammed themselves into our Ford Pinto, went to a Christmas tree lot late on Christmas Eve - and proceeded to steal a tree. Three people and a pine tree, all stuffed into a Pinto.

I'm glad I wasn't there.

Thanks! Yes, I hope one of my boys has a set (or both!). Our larger family has a lot of twins - on Mrs. Lando's side as well.

I'm going to have to look for earlier pictures.

With my dear wife, early 1988:

With Michael Medved, early 2005:

Late 2006 (I look pretty much the same now, except older):

LOL! Funny, how even though it was taken well over 50 years ago, I can recall that moment...wishing the photographer would hurry up, etc..

I met Michael Medved also around 2005, at our Western WA Republican Picnic. Love his show.

Alice suggested I should post it. Note - this is not my picture, I found it while doing some picture research, and it floored me a bit. I had no idea it even existed.

Foreground, right. No beard and a rather depressing (now) lack of grey hair.

I hadn't known or heard of "Throwback Thursday". Started seeing Facebook "friends" post olde time pics and now understand why. LOL!

Don't and won't post any pics on Facebook....I'm strictly a lurker. Don't even have a completed profile with a picture.

TBR is my "facebook".....and love sharing time with the best "friends" anybody could want.

Thank you Lando. And thank you all!

Going through this thread for old times' sake.

Lost friends...enemies made...it's a damned shame!

That's exactly the mindset I had when I revived it. @Machiavelli

Was hoping that some of these #nevertrumpers would tone down their personal insults and insults per association of candidate...once they can put a REAL face (real person) on the avatar to which, they're speaking.

LOL. Did you have a bloody nose?

Yes she was. This was during the global warming climate change scare of 1958 or 59 in Northern Il. Couldn't get to the Piggly Wiggly to shop. She went out and caught dinner.
