I think it's cool also that I can say I have lived in a few different countries even if I did so when I was a kid. I wish I could go just to visit the same places now as an adult but obviously my parents either made a lot more money than me now as an adult or the Army had a lot to do with the family being able to travel. I'll say it's both. lolBut even though I was little then, I can still remember my grandparent's house clear as day. The tatami (straw floors) throughout the house, the rice paper sliding doors, the bathroom (there was a square cut in the floor that you squatted over lol), the shrine where the incense was burning and their garden that was growing towards the back of the yard near the wall closest to Mt Fuji.

You lost me when you got to the bathroom.

Well then let me tell you about the toilets on trains back in the day in Korea.I remember seeing the train tracks through the hole you sat on to do your business. Nothing like the sound of the tracks and the air swooshing under your butt as you sat on the potty! hahahaAnd if you are imagining further, yes, your business just dropped on the tracks. But remember this was years and years ago and on a train in the country. Holy crap! I hope kids were escorted! (I can't remember if anyone was with me) I'm sure they were as that could potentially be very dangerous for a little one.

After the encouragement of a sharp teeth moderator I am adding these pictures to our Throwback Thursday thread!This is me back in 88 or 89 and my oldest son Jaden, some 22 years later!  Crazy how history repeats itself.  And yes, on both instances we did Rock and Roll all night!      

 

[Mben]

I love them, Jewels! Those pictures are very cool!

 

[Mben]

I'm here with my mom and brother in another passport picture taken back in 1968 or so. 

 

[Sookie]

You rock Jewels and you clearly produced children who rock as well

They are doppelgangers!

I thought the same which is why I threw that together back then. Other than his little turned up nose (which is from his father's side), they looked so much alike at that age.

 

[Mben]

Thanks for sharing, sashasmom! It's so awesome to see everyone's pictures from the past!

 

[sashasmom]

I actually grabbed the wrong pic and couldn't edit, that's my husband and I about 10 years ago

 

[Mben]

LOL Ok, I was not about to ask are you sure that is your mom and dad? That would have sounded so funny."
But I kind of thought I recognized your husband (band pictures) and another reason why I wanted to ask you but didn't is because the photo didn't look '47's to me. "
But nevertheless ... great picture!

  That is so funny. If we are putting the wrong pics up, and unable to change them, how long before you figure someone accidently grabs an art photo? 

 

[Jewels]

Since I am turning 40 years old today I thought I would share a photo from my first Birthday!

 

[Sookie]

I think that's the best one yet Jewels

 

[Jewels]

Today I am sharing pictures of whats important to me.......my sons!My neice and older boys right after my last son was born.Look how red he is!  He stayed that red for a few weeks.Maybe it's the Indian in him.
