I finally got around to going through my father’s slides, old Kodachromes, of Homer and I as little guys. I discovered that my mother tried to destroy our futures with our clothing choices!! Just kidding, I guess it was how mom’s of that era tried to dress their kids, but these were just too funny not to share! The Easter shot above was just too much!
How about these two Bucharoos! I loved that Homer was riding a bull!
This slide was pretty faded but the theme was outragous! Homer still can’t stand at attention!
She did a lot better in picking casual clothes these pajamas look comfortable!!
Too bad they were not casting for “Suits” in the 50’s, well maybe not!
I hope you enjoyed a little laugh at Homer’s and my expense, I have a great brother, he always was my best pal, and we have now grown to love each other very much! This was fun seeing how it all began for us! Thanks Homer for being a wonderful brother!
I don’t think any less of you, no matter how our mother dressed us!!!
Blessings,

Bonus image! Homer serving in the Air Force in a cowboy outfit!
Well I found one more, Homer won a coloring contest from a local department store, it was who could draw the best Davey Crockett picture. Homer won and this was theoutfit he won, here he is after killing a “bar” actually it was our St Bernard Schnapps, who was happy to play along!

My brother Homer came down yesterday and we sorted old family slides from years back and we found this one of he and I. I guess I really was bitten with the photogaphy bug from the beginning!!!
I also found some old shots of me in my mid twenties when I met Sherelene and got my first camera, a Nikon, Nikkormat FTN. This is of course pre-beard days!
Would love to be that young again, maybe!

A couple of years ago I had a workshop group at the Primitive Baptist Church in Cades Cove. When we walked in the church I heard the beautiful sound of a violin playing aAmazing Grace. This gentlemen was simply sitting in the church, alone, playing htthis beautiful hymn. After he finished Ia sked himif I could photograph him, Igot his infmpation emailed se the images to him.
What a great song, and moment to remember from being in that special place! Because of the love and forgiveness of my Savior, Jesus, that song means all the world to me!

My faithful companion, Chester! Back before Christmas I flew my drone off the back deck and Chester watched in rapped attention, he could not figure out what kind of insect or bird made that whirring sound! During this past year of Covid confinement, Chester and I have had a lot of great love and fellowship together! He lives for Sherelene coming home from work, but during the day he and I are great buddies! It is an honor to be even in second place in his big old, loving heart!
Blessings,
