Great photo!

I don't post often but could not resist...sure can tell who in the family she looks like...she was a sweetie then..and I am sure still is your sweetie now. I'm proud of you Godfather....good work!

Thanks Hugh. Yep, I still claim her. She was a little "Varmint" then and she still is today. Hard to believe she is 45 years old now. I couldn't keep her out of that Manx buggy. She grew up in that thing.

is that a blemish in the photo or is that what those vaccine scars start out like?

I missed the polio vaccine era

You are correct Sir. I forgot that I had photo shop element . I tried it and I surprised myself    It worked and I took the scar off . To late. Oh well, At least its cleaned up in I-photo. Anything I do that comes out right on a computer is a accident . I'm not blessed with a Mac tech standing behind me . Linda is a PC whiz and that does HELP. Sort'a like the blind leading the really blind, but even a blind Pig can root out a acorn sometimes.

I thought that's what it looked like, but then I thought it might be crappy old film instead.

I've noticed when I've been looking through mom's picture albums that around the late 60's or early 70's any color photos are fading fast.  Black and white photos, especially old ones, tend to hold up real well.  Most color photos of my high school years (class of '78) are VERY faded.  I've scanned a lot of them and tried enhancing them and resaving them.  I've also learned the hard way, if it's a digital picture you really want to keep forever, store it in more than one place.  Burn it to a CD and put in your desk at work or a safe deposit box.  I lost a bunch of pictures from when Jesse was a baby and toddler because only had them on my hard drive . . . and it crashed.  I've installed a spare hard drive and archive pictures and documents on it as well as keeping a copy on my C: drive, but the stuff I REALLY don't want to lose, I also copy to some other media and store it in another location.  Some of them I take to Wal-Mart, CVS or Walgreens and make prints . . . we'll see how those prints hold up in a few years.  So far, so good . . . but my high school pictures looked good for the first 20 years.
