Retro parents

Who's this hunk?

My Dad!

One of my fave 'vintage' shots of him when he was working on a radio tower in his 20s, working his way through university.

Thought I'd post it as I had such a good response from the 'vintage twins' shots.

This is somewhere on the Canadian prairies, where both my folks were born.

Wonder who snapped the pic of him?

Can't leave Mom out of the picture.

Talk about a retro mama!

Love this shot also. My Mom grew up in a teeny Saskatchewan town called Radville.

There used to be peeps who would snap your pic on the street; you'd pay for it and give them your info and then they'd develop the photo and deliver it to you.

That's how this piccy came about, don't you love it? And look at the retro sign!




My Mom looks so pretty and happy here (she still is).

Betcha she'd just met my Dad.

Can't recall the details here but I just loved her smile, and get a load of the retro cat's eye glasses!

As you can tell from the coat above, my Mom had a thing in her younger days for coats. I have inherited that passion, except I'm buying the vintage coats she wore back then!

Happy Friday and happy weekend every one - if you're in Toronto hope you make it through the G-20 weekend!
