Me also, I quite enjoyed it but it was noisier than I had anticipated while the waiting around on the ground wasn't great. Our sailing club arranged a swap with a gliding club, we took them dinghy sailing on the sea and they us gliding. I remember they were great with our young son, giving him rides on their tractor. I have a photo somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) The first 2 in the blue outfit I was around 23 or so. Bouffant hair. I had 3 children by then. The last one, 20 or so years later, shoulder pads, lightened hair and I was a grandma called Mimi. https://www.dropbox.com/s/i4ha38wjc0lwtju/_DSF1249a.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/wu1c3378gambwoq/_DSF1254a.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/ylixa7lsytwbwdv/_DSF1253a.jpg?dl=0 Edited March 3, 2023 by Betty LaRue 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Ventura Posted March 3, 2023 Author Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) I too started parenthood a bit later, first child at 35 and second at 38. This was pretty much the norm among my childhood friends. Betty, your pics are adorable and you really jumped into parenting early and with both feet and and hands. I feel it is evident that you have been rewarded with wonderful kids who care a great deal about you and you them! Aside from losing your husband too soon, you can't ask much more of a better life! Lots more to come for sure! Edited March 4, 2023 by Michael Ventura 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots more to come for sure! Thank you, Michael. 😊 Bob & I grew up with our kids, were very active with them. Fishing, camping, ball games, skiing, horses, water skiing…and when the last was out of the nest I was just a couple of years past 40. I think I was a grandma at 44. Would have been younger, but it was my last child who made me a grandma first! The oldest finished 4 years of college, then settled into teaching for a couple of years before she started a family. Jeff married before he finished college then got his masters while parenting. Kim, the youngest, got an Associate’s, married and started her family. And yes, I do know I am blessed with my three wonderful children who see to any needs I have that I can’t take care of myself. Proof was how they took care of me after the back surgery from hell. Jeff lives 3 minutes away. He brought me about 10 fresh-grilled pork chops last week. What’s left is in my freezer. Last Saturday, he took me to see the movie “The Jesus Revolution “. Bought me popcorn & a drink, then took me to dinner after. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill I was just thinking along those lines too - When I was 40 my daughter was 6. Though I did become a grandmother at 59 - much younger than I imagined since my daughter, then age 25, was still in grad school at the time. On the plus side I travelled more in my 20s than during the entire rest of my life. Me at age 32 on my wedding day - half my life ago! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I found my old Italian press card from the 1960s. Why do I always look uncomfortable in photos? I'm not a moody or unhappy person, honest. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
