I only ever had about 3 photos from my childhood until two weeks ago when a bag of photos and hand drawings was rescued as it was being hauled to the dump. I wont go into all the details, but I will share few things that blew my minds and made me laugh, smile, and be so grateful for my brother finding these and rescuing them. As you see above in the photo, I have always been character in the middle of groups hamming it up. In this photo it is my three cousins.
No judgment please, I don’t claim to be an artist. To be fair, I was really young when I drew these Picasso-like drawings.
A Lamb…
My rendition of the Planters Peanut character.
A scene of native Americans. Sure looks like the fishing was much better back then.
Apparently I haven’t always been an Out of the Box type of thinker, or doer.
One unexpected thing was finding that my grandmother kept a timecard for when she paid me to work at their company packing potatoes and sweeping floors as a child. I made $2 an hour.
I hope you enjoyed this one tenth as much as I did seeing these and so many more.
