Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN ...

"Princess Bradley","Sgt. Jackson" & next is "Lola Bee"

Well, I didn't have any luck in finding Bongos in costume, although I do remember 1 party a Jhar's home in Bedford that was a blast in the mid to late 70's... I know I had a picture ... maybe it will turn up by next year.

So, what i have is my parents on the front porch 70s then Dmoo holding my plastic pumpkin that I still have! It is sitting on my dinning room table today! The 3 little ghosts are from my current front yard 2 years ago, boy the landscape has really changed. Next is 60's SHBC skating party, everyone in costume. The CLOWN is my sister!

1987 was a fun year! Skni and Jmoc.

Then the 90's brought into my life a dear friend Lgoo! We dressed as Laurel & Hardy. I am the tall one - the last picture is us without masks, with Dcri.

Both Lgoo & Dcri are Sagamorans!

Some of the best memories are of walking the neighborhood, going door to door, trick or treat. Many years of our pre & early teens we would do Jkle's area, cuz we walked to Donnie and Lindsey's .... Char lived on the same street. I think I was always a witch, really cant remember.

We would run and my side would hurt. We would walk for miles! Times have changed, and I wouldn't walk now anywhere on any day.

We grew up in the best years, the 60's!

HAIR !

I intended to discuss Halloween favorites... but I am stumped finding pictures of us in costumes. I will have to make a trip back to the parents to see what I can find by Friday. So that will be coming up - wooooooooooo.

In my collection of photos, I have found the scariest of all! Our Hair!

What we do to it to look oh so beautiful. I have attached some glam shots. We have been through curlers, tape, rollers, ironing, the dreaded permanent, streaks (now highlights), extensions ( falls), wigs, wiglets and more - including lemon juice to make it more blond.

Left is Skni & Dcog

Below we have Bbow, Skni, Chop & Cfar ....

mmmm... Jkle peeking, no her top is stuck on the bobbie pins! Next is the end result.

Skni with Jpen, Jkle, Stho, Chop & Bbow....

The 1960's Slumber Parties

Starting with 1965, sitting on the hearth is Dkee, Skni, Bbow & Jkle! Were we behaving? Probably. I have several pictures of the sleep-over or Slumber parties during the 1960s. We had the best time, no matter if we were at my house, Jkle's, Cfar's or our Sunday School teacher's home.
The cheese rotel dip , chips, cookies, cokes and such! I remember my home, we would open up the playroom and we had two couch beds turned out.
Look here at the games we played.... was it Pass Out ... Fall back "trust me"?















Above is Cfar's Mom!!! She was fun! I remember Cfar singing karaoke style! BEFORE it was popular!
Look at the 35 records Jkle is picking out.
Jpen is getting into the music.





What's up here? Skni bangs, ugh!

















Look at Cfar fix her bands! and there is Baby doll Bbow !

TWISTER - Twist and shout! Jkle, Jpen, Dcog & Dkee. What did you say?




















Woo hoo - look at my wall art!
Go Go girls and the Monkees on the wall above the bulletin board.




Remember hair extensions!!!
wow, Jpen knew the style!



















Here is my 15th Birthday! Only 1 Bongo older (Cfar) the rest of you were only 14! We were kickin'! Side bangs were in, but mine just wouldn't stay!


















& don't we all remember Dcog, at EVERY SLUMBER PARTY, looking just like this!






Allergic to everything! I bet she has stock in tissues! We love you anyway, Dcog!

Glorietta Here We Come!

The first memory I have of Jkle is a trip to Glorietta 1964. I wasn't too sure at first about sharing the back seat of the car during the road trip, but she was so nice and fun. We became friends fast. Jkle was a very adventurous spirit, while I tended to be near my Mom or safety zone. I learned from Jkel how to be assertive (in a positive way) and talk to people (well, maybe I don't talk , but she was & is still a good example). She is definitely a natural born leader.

The group picture she & I are on the front row, our folks are straight behind us on the back row.

Jkle found amazement and humor of my boil on my stomach that trip. It hurt so much, she delighted in teasing me when I would say the darnest things. I remember the fear and the unknown of the strange doctor and medical center. She found humor, and told everyone to my embarrassment.

After Glorietta week, my family continued to Colorado.
A few photos of of those memories will follow below. I have been to Glorietta many times in my youth and as a young adult over the years. It is a special place & favorite memory. My last trip to Glorietta was a winter Ski trip with Single Adults.

1972 Camp Sagamore

We arrived in many ways, we drove
We hiked

Graham Belles 1972 - We were all in love.

I dont remember the skit, so you will have to tell me what it was. I think I have blocked all skits from my memory, since I was shy and didnt like to do them.

A few pictures, strange was that honey at our dorm front door? Was that staged? Didnt we block our door with furniture so that no one could come in while we were gone?

Dkel -those are crazy red, white & blue pants you have there!

Boyfriends?

Jpen, was seemed to hide from all my pictures except this one.

Senior Yearbook pictures were made this summer too, we were fixing to start our SENIOR YEAR!
