BLAST FROM MY PAST

This Board is sort of a continuation from my Board Nostalgia and Memories, all things from either my past or that of my four children, things that continue to make me happy when I find them, or just jog my memory and giving me an aha moment or two. As in my other Boards, forgive me if I have re-pinned things more than once. Hopefully you will enjoy the journey back in time as you look at these pins, I know I have.

I remember doing this at Springside Park, and being very dizzy when I got to the bottom of the hill!

I never seemed to use the negatives for anything, but they piled up over the years and eventually I think I threw them all out.....stupid move!!

This was my very first set of dishes when I got married!! I had it for years, don't remember what ever became of it.

Trudy Tarasoff My parents had this Corelle set back in the Seventies. I used to think that the cup handles were so neat. All that is left of the set is a serving bowl, which is now in my cupboard.

Wendy Porter-Ouellet That is cool that you at least have the serving bowl, I kind of wish I still had this set because it was so light-weight. The cups I had with my set weren't like the ones in this picture, mine were more like a mug. It is just so neat to see these agains
