• Our new roof. 

  
  

   It is so much nicer than our old black, warped edges, roof.  Most of the roofs being put on in our town are using shingles that look more like cedar shakes—uneven sizes.  It is still dark, but not black. 

  
  

  We also have a new freezer, which was delivered this morning.  It is a little smaller than our old one, but should suffice.  This one has shelves in the door, which the old one did not have.  That will help make up the 3 cubic foot difference.

  
  

  We are still eating vegetable soup and turkey, which I cooked up when we had to empty the old one and do something with some of the totally thawed food.  Most of the food was still frozen, and we will get that back from sis-in-law’s freezer soon.

  
  

  Louise, one of our local grands, stopped in yesterday to show off her new glasses.  She is like me in that she likes “girly” things.  So, plain old glasses were not for her.

  
  

  

  
  

  Her sister Sylvia’s prescription didn’t change, and she was happy with her present frames.  Sylvia is more sporty.

  Dianelub  had a blog up that showed pics of her and her hubby, using pics from old yearbooks with their
  “now” faces put in.  I had fun with this, too.  Check out http://www.yearbookyourself.com/ , and have some fun.

  
  

  I did Ken from 1954, using a recent pic of him.  Because of the beard, it didn’t work the best, but still got a kick out of it.  He actually wore his hair similar to this at the time.

  
  

  

  
  

  I graduated in 1959, but they only do even years, so here is 1958.  I notice that they keep the original person’s face shape and chin line, which makes a big difference.  My inserted picture is the same in all the photos.

  
  

  

  
  

  1960—I didn’t wear glasses back then!  But this picture actually looks a lot like the senior picture of an old girlfriend of mine from that time.

  
  

  

  
  

  I forget what year this is—-late 90′s I think.  But I like the hairdo!  The picture also makes me look good.  Have decided that if I had had a narrower face, and a nice chin, I wouldn’t look half bad!  lol   I have always had a receding chin, which is even worse with all the extra weight I carry.  I am the chinless (or maybe triple-chinned?) wonder!

  
  

  

  
  

  Thanks Diane, for a few good laughs this morning!!

  Tomorrow we have appts. with dermatologist.  It is an annual thing for Ken, because he has a lot of skin damage from working outside shirtless in the summer since mid-50′s to mid-90′s!   It has been quite a few years since I have gone, so it will be interesting to see what he finds, if anything.
