Picture pages, picture pages, having fun with picture
pages!
By Lorraine Balint
The following are a sample of my extensive collection
of photographs from the my family collection of thiose who have passed on, and scenes
from around the home front.
FAMILY, ODDS AND FRIENDS
The
powder-blue, suspiciously casket-shaped soldering machine I work on
Me
at age 14 in 1971 with my rather greasy
"London Shag"
As
you might have surmised, it took me over 40 years to look THIS good
(heh-heh)
A
visitation from a crowd of local gobblers exploring a seed-and worm-rich ditch to the
drywell
My
sister's fragrant Hawaiian cactus flower which only blooms once a year---
a few days after 9 / 11
A
contributed picture--- an odd video blip a friend noticed and recorded
a few days after 9 / 11, when everyone couldn't get blasted twin towers
off their minds
The church I attended
when we were both young (church was built 1 year after I was born.) From church's first Xmas card.
Church recently enlarged and renovated for $3.5M; a few months later, electrical fire destroyed new carpet and
caused $200K smoke damage! Ooops. . .
A massive
explosion at a local factory during the day shift, where, miraculously, EVERYONE was evacuated
in the nick of time. This wreckage took up a whole city block.
A spider web and a sunset
over Hawaii, taken by my late sister
A much younger me and my
MUCH younger son, the day I brought the little bundle of trouble---er, JOY, home from the hospital.
The annual
city festival in a town near mine. The wrangler of the motorized lion spent more time
riding it than any children; and while it looks like the furniture of evicted tenants from
the Victorian Condominiums (once a school) was scattered in the street, it was really a
fine furniture vendor's display.
Two of my late cats,
Cookie and Pinky-in-a-box; me and my late brother's late dog, King
My sister, brother, and myself,
ca.1962.
Myself, and my late sister
and late brother, on sister's graduation day in 1986
