"Wee, the Gang"

Answering Stevie's post, here are some (not so recent) photos of me and my siblings.

Ian, Me, Glen and Dale at Expo '67

Pinky (my stuffed yellow and pink dog) Me, Glen, Dale and Ian on a 60's Christmas morning

Ian, Me, Glen & Dale ...
on a Christmas Eve. At that time I thought it was a shame to go to bed early, however, now I realize that I was able to get out of wearing "yucky" clothes and put on my warm and comfy flannels.

Me, Ian, Glen and Princess Di (I mean Dale) during an 80's Christmas celebration.

How did we turn out? Well I think Ian is the only "normal" one whose been married to the same woman for 15 years or so and lives the surburban life in Australia with his wife and two kids. The other three are artistic, ever changing and free-spirits (much to my parent's chagrin I believe).

Oh my gosh I LOVED these photos Lesley! Thank you so much for posting them! It was like quick steps through time to see you all at different stages! They made me smile so wide, which I sorely needed after a long and tiring day... you darling thing you!
All this "normal" talk though that we all seems to be using... not sure I like that... lol!
I did a series on mental health when I was at The Echo, in which one of my interviewees said, "To me, normal is just a setting on the washing machine."
Normal is as normal does, me thinks!

What a lovely set of photos, Lesley. I especially like the last one...not only Princiess Di (she really does look like her doesn't she? I'm in awe) but also such a lovely picture of you too. Indeed what a handsome family!

These images make me cry, so touching.

Well I just learned that I can wear my new shoes to another "meeting". Last week I had two interviews and have been called back on both of them. ..... One on Thursday and one next week ..... eek!

Anne-Marie said...

Good luck, Lesley! Wear the red shoes and tap your heels before you head in!

Hi Lannio,

thank you for your nice words on my blog. Here is the link from the Kasseler Staatstheater: http://www.staatstheater-kassel.de/
But only in my language. You can have a look, what we can see this year.
Your old pics are funny. We are all not the same as in our younger days.
Hope you feel good.
Take care
Love and peace
Stefan

PS: I prefer "Dr. Martens" and "Converse" Chuck Taylor All Star shoes.

Hey Lesley
Good on you about the interviews! Red shoes... must be the trick!
:)

Vallypee said...

Good luck Lesley. Go wow them in thos red shoes, and make sure they are clicking with poise and authority!

Lannio said...

Thanks! Three hours to go!

Stevie said...

Hope today went splendidly! Did you click your heels like Anne Marie said to?

Mary Beth said...

Great pics, Lesley! It's neat to see how each one of you has grown. How did your brother end up moving to Australia?

Love the shoes and bags on your last post too!! Eel skin - how cool!
