This is me... connecting our names.

[Saponista]

Me drinking a hot cup of tea watching the tar barrel rolling last Wednesday for bonfire night.

 

[CaraBou]

Good to see you Saponista! I had never heard of the tar barrel rolling so had to look it up. Found a 2007 YouTube video. That looks crazy! :shock:

 

[Saponista]

It's not as bad as it looks on camera. It's a real friendly community atmosphere. You just have to stay away from the hot end of the barrel!

 

[JustBeachy]

Considering my forum name, figured it was only fitting to post some pics from one of this summers beach trips.

This is me with my youngest daughter. She still lives with her mom, but spends a couple of months with me each year. She's coming down for Thanksgiving, yeah!


This is me taking the "boys" out for a drink at a beach club.


And this is the whole crew, AKA the testing subjects. I raised the older three, by myself. All while teenagers. haha That was fun. The little cutie on the bottom left is my grand daughter. Talk about someone having me tied around their little finger.

 

[Khanjari]

Very cute pictures and a good crew! Nice to see ya!

 

[Ellacho]

Wow! I did not even know this thread is existed until today! All of pictures brought me a smile! So nice meeting you all !

 

[Saponista]

You have a lovely family

 

[JustBeachy]

You have a lovely family

Thanks. I'd like to think I've had some successes in life, but all of them pale in comparison to the pride I have in my kids. Well, young adults, but always my kids and grand kids. ( have the second grand kid due in December).

I'm new-ish to this forum, but I see a lot of familiar names on this thread. It's nice to put a face with a name.

Here's me with my family last month at the pumpkin patch.

 

[shunt2011]

This is me, my mom and my 92 year old aunt. My real life name is Shari

 

[JustBeachy]

Great pics. I love family pics.

 

[Relle]

Shari, your 92 year old Aunt is doing well for her age.

 

[newbie]

Doing well? I know 65 year old people who look older than she! I also love seeing the family resemblance in you three.

Splendor, your kids are cute as buttons. I love how happy you all look.

 

[shunt2011]

My aunt still has more energy and spunk than me and a lot of people I know. My mom is 77. I can only hope I have their energy when I'm their age because I don't even have it now.

What great pictures. It's nice putting faces to the names. Beautiful people.

 

[The Efficacious Gentleman]

This is The Admirable Lady and me. We don't always wear this, by the way - it was the wedding of my sister-in-law and she wore traditional Austrian dress for our wedding so we repayed the favour.

Of course, I was dying to buy Liederhosen anyway!

Eta I love the pictures of you all. But in particular I was thinking "look! It's actually DeeAnna!"

 

[Susie]

And gosh, you look JUST like I imagined!(Minus the Liederhosen, of course!)

 

[The Efficacious Gentleman]

I still can't get over the fact that Susie imagines me minus my Liederhosen!

 

[LBussy]

I still can't get over the fact that Susie imagines me minus my Liederhosen!

 

[boyago]

This whole time I have been abbreviating your name to "The Face" in my head and picturing you as sting from Quadrophenia and imagining you like this:

 

[The Efficacious Gentleman]

Just for you!
