Debut

It occurred to me as I rifled through thousands of photos in shoe boxes that there were stories not told, forgotten faces, and overall details of our families lives that were literally fading away.  Do you also have shoe box stories? What about carousels of slides?  I often correlate the "If walls could talk" saying, to our old photos and movies - what stories would we learn, what part of our history have we lost?

The shoe box stories will share a photo a couple times a week - and if I know the story I will share, and if I don't I might make one up - who will know the difference?

So this is me - when I was 3.  I contemplated starting with baby pictures and moving forward but instead decide to pull a photo from the middle of the box - after all I am a middle child. I don't mind the lawn chair in the background to me it says this photo was intended as a candid shot - a happy 3 year old.  I will note, however, it is a little funny to have a short-sleeved turtle neck on in the summer, that is a look that makes me smile.  And that is it - there is my first shoe box story.
