2010 Sisters Vacation

I thought I was ready to start the 2010 photo book of our trip......
only problem ........
I'm just not MAC ready yet!!!!
Am I just and old dog who is hard to teach new tricks??
Nope, just cautious and taking my time. It's like a creative assignment. I am embracing it with a willingness to learn. I worked so hard in my old laptop and had all my pics ready and had just uploaded Chris's pictures...and POOF.....they were gone in a flash.........laptop bit the dust....
Well I'm craving self expression....
hope this book lives up to my initial vision.

Hunt Reunions

Cousin Lori found these photos at her Mom and Dad's House...oh sure we have better photos around somewhere but I just could not help but snatch them for my blog. See if you can remember what the year was and better yet who's who!!!

Now here are a few hints..... The gal in the middle.....she used to tease her hair a mile high, and wear bright colored finger nail polish!! She had a neighbor boy named Eddie who was sweet on her! Can you guess now who she is!!!!! Come on, take a guess.
Check this crown out....And who is that swinging the golf club?!?!


Hmm who's in the striped shorts?!? You gotta love those....Is that Harv paired with Rene?
Beach Ball Volley Ball sure was fun! The Hunt reunion was always celebrated close to Grandma and Grandpa's wedding anniversary. Each year a family was in charge of the games and arrangements. Most often the event was held at a park in Weston.

Gosh who are the little ones in the front?

Stu nice legs...and I love your socks!! Was that the fad back----way back then?!?!


Yep, there was always time for relaxation and good conversation...isn't that right Peggy Aggy!!!
Wonder what Uncle Lornie and Frank are talking about?
Saved the best for last, MOM, I'm checking out her golf stroke!!
Who are the kids on the side line? I need help here. I look forward to your answers!!!!!
It has been awhile since we cousins have gotten together. We must think about doing this real soon.

The Dress



There once was a dress worn by Elaine Johanna Hunt on her wedding day - October 21st, 1950
Little did she know that almost 60 years latter, her dress would be fashioned into a Baptismal Gown for her Great Granddaughter - Lauren Kathryn Tetzlaff.

Lauren was born January 12th, 2010 and is my first grand daughter. I wanted so much to make her a Baptismal gown.

Her dress - the front and back of her dress, was Mom's front and back, her collar, Mom's collar, her sleeves, Mom's sleeves. I made her a bracelet from a pearl necklace of Mom's. Tiny slippers and a flower head band too.


What a beautiful precious girl she is. Here is a picture of Lauren with her Mom - Allison.
