P.S. A QUICK EXTRA TO SHARE

A hacker called me the other day and told me they had all my passwords.  Rushing to grab pen & paper I said “Oh, thank God.  What are they?  :[]

THE SPORTS ARENA

Image
  My husband’s maternal grandfather, Harry Brasier’s hockey team in 1898-99.  Harry is on the left end of the 2 nd of 4 loosely formed rows. Later Harry played for a larger team.  Here he is on the right end of the 2 nd row wearing a black sleeveless tee & holding a hockey stick threatening the poor guy seated on the ground to his left.  1981 – Our son, the goalie, and his soccer team in Oakhurst, California. 1981 – eldest daughter and her soccer team. Eldest daughter in action on the soccer field during her first year playing the game! 1981 – youngest daughter and her soccer team. It was interesting to watch all the parents splitting up and running around trying, like us, to watch all our children playing on different teams on Saturday mornings in different areas of the local high school fields.  And then the high school JV football team would come out to play a game on the football field and heads would swing around yet again.  Fun times. In 1983 ...

TENTING IN TENTS ON THE OL' CAMPGROUND

Image
  My husband’s grandfather, Harry Brasier, before he was married so sometime before 1909, went canoeing across five Canadian lakes with several friends.  These are two of those friends sitting in front of their tent somewhere on the shore of one of those Canadian lakes. My Dad and his younger sister in front of the family tent at Meeks Bay, Lake Tahoe in the early 1920s. My Dad in the early 1930s with his one man wonder tent. 1945 – My Mom stands in front of the inherited Bradley family tent during a short camping get-away with my Dad on a break from dealing with three little children 5 years old and younger. (Mom’s sis-in-law, my Aunt Shirley, was taking care of us back home.)  And oh my gosh – Mom’s wearing a dress!  Camping!!  Mom!!!  What were you thinking?    Two years later in 1947 with the old Bradley tent and our 1942 Pontiac sedan.  This time we kids came along.  That’s me standing by the car.  I was 7, my brother, 4, and m...

A PICNIC IS A PICNIC WHEREVER YOU HAPPEN TO BE – SAND, DIRT, GRASS, ROCKS, PATIOS, DECKS, A LIVING ROOM FLOOR, OR AN OLD HELICOPTER PAD

Image
  Summer, 1962.  Picnic IN the sand.  You’ve seen this picture before.  We were at Stinson Beach and the wind was blowing pretty hard, but we hunkered down behind the sand dunes and on this particular trip, managed to eat our lunch without crunching on too much sand.  And yes, there was the time we went to Stinson and gave up picnicking there because it was just too windy, coming home to eat our lunch on a blanket spread out on the living room floor in front of a cheery fire Dad built in the fireplace.  But hey, it was still a picnic! J Stinson Beach.  It’s always windy here because it’s so wide open.  But it’s a great place to explore. My husband’s mother looks like she’s eating something yummy out of a box in front of her?  I’m guessing she was around 15 at the time which would place the year around 1925.  Her mother, Lillian Ross (Pringle) Brasier, is seated on the right.   Mid 1940s.  My maternal grandmother, Bertha ...
