Summer Project

Every year during our "winter time" here in the desert -- yes, to the rest of the world that means summer.  But here, today, at 108 degrees, being outside doesn't happen if I don't have to.  So every year, I fiddle around with a project.  Last year it was home improvement DIY projects with Brian's room.  This year .... I need something that doesn't cost money now that I'm making car payments again.  ugh.

So I decided that I'm going to try and chronicle my growing up years.  I'll select a few photos and write about what was going on at the time.  I've been doing the same in my photo albums, 2 or 3 pages a day.  Because what good is a photo if you don't know anything else about it ??  

I'll admit, sometimes it's difficult to write something about a photo -- your child age 2 wearing someone's sunglasses ... not much needs to be said, I'm thinking!   It's just cute :)  But ... I do make sure there's a name and date on the photo ... because future generations might want to know!   And because my daughter and my granddaughter look like twins born 20 years apart!   :)

I'll be posting these stories in a different blog..  Not sure why I started it elsewhere, but at one point .... well,  that's water under the bridge.

It's danipape.blogspot.com - Where Family Memories Live On  if you want to follow along

My parents moved to California in 1962, Mom's pregnant with my sister, and they decided to make a move, follow a dream if you will.  My life sure would have been different if they hadn't!  

Here's our first apartment.  We lived downstairs, my mom's sister and her family lived upstairs.

And the adventure begins!
