my dad and whole family in the 70’s
bell-bottomed out
in the midst
of an extended tour
through our hippie phase of life.
—
happy father’s day, dad
miss you.

“you can tell what was the best year of your father’s life because they seem to freeze that clothing style and ride it out.”
-jerry seinfeld
I didn't have my glasses on.... 
Going back and looking at old family photos is always a hilarious trip down fashion’s memory lane. What a fun and funny way to celebrate your father, Beth! And, as always, the perfect quote on the subject!

I am one of ten children. I am third from the top. I used to think my older sister was pulling us all along in the age stakes. Now it’s the grandchildren pushing us from behind. Seems there’s not much choice. But I like it. 🙂

Ah, the Seventies…I finally got my hair cut to get a job around big machinery to pay for the birth of our daughter. We still have that ponytail. It hangs on my wall with a hawk feather and my medicine bag. Lots of things change; some things don’t.

You are so lucky. You are able to attach photos. My bad luck. My photo which I try to attach is not acceptable to this site. Sorry. Technical rules may not be able to accept my attachment.

Beth, this reminds me of the line from the 70’s song “Pretzel Logic” by Steely Dan, in reference to the style of the times: “I stepped upon the platform, the man gave me the news. He said ‘you must be joking son, where did you get those shoes?'”
