I Keep Finding Pix

Bow Tie o’ the Day wonders if we’ll ever run out of long-forgotten snapshots. We’re glad we keep finding them. I am particularly amazed I still run onto old pictures since most of my pre-1999 photos were kidnapped and taken to Texas with an ex, where they have lived for the last 20 years. I am currently in hostage negotiations to get them back, if they still even exist. They will be a treasure trove, for sure.

This is a yearbook photo from Delta Jr. High. Apparently, this is the 7th and 8th Grade Student Council from 1977. Seated, from left to right: Karen Dafoe, Lisa Hardy, Georgia Grayson, ME. Standing, from left to right, Gordon Jeffery, Joel Finlinson, Kipp Oppenheimer, Chris Brown, Richard Jacobson, Susan Redd, Wayne Dafoe.

I don’t remember actually doing anything in Jr. High Student Council, except meeting once a month and pretending we ran the school. We did learn how to conduct meetings, make motions, and second the motions made by others. It made us feel like we were important. Mostly, we had a good time being out of class for an hour. It was like sluffing, with permission.

An Old Photo O’ Mom

Here’s how Mom showed up at my former Delta house one morning a few March’s ago. Mom is one person who is allowed to show up on TIE O’ THE DAY posts whether or not there’s any sort of tie anywhere in the snapshot. I kneel in honor of Mom’s massive, over-the-top coolness.
