Monday Mancat Memories

Snapshots from September 2008. I know I'm always posting the same pics, just from different months and years, but of course this was their lives. 

Below: Another day in the garden, another insect to snack on. Derry was very good at insect-catching. Nicki didn't have the patience, so the occasional time that he did catch his own, I think it must have been from sheer luck.

 As for other memories: Among the few childhood items that Mom had left for me were 55 slides, dating back from my birth in 1964. I took them to our downtown camera store and had them scanned and transferred onto a memory stick. I picked them up Saturday afternoon and then spent a bit of time editing as necessary, for size and colour. I'll refrain from posting any blurry pics of me as a baby, bare backside, lying on a couch. LOL. (There were two of those!)

These three below were taken when I was about five-ish, at Haldimand Beach in Gaspé, so probably 1969, give or take a year. Mom would have been in her late 20s. Of all the slides she had (Dad has hundreds, if not thousands, as he was the photographer), these are my favourite. As always, Mom had a cigarette in her hand!

The pic below was taken when I was three, so in 1967, also at Haldimand Beach. It was our first summer in Gaspé, as we moved there from Montreal that spring. It was Mom's favourite of the early pics, or so she used to say.

Note my little red oxfords! It was always red oxfords one year, navy blue the next. It's a good thing children's footwear has come a long way since then.  :-)

Thanks for stopping by, have a lovely day.
