30 Something

This is such a fun and GREAT idea since we are so close to that finished line!  Can you believe we will all soon be talking in person and partying at the RITA banquet?!   I’m enjoying going back to memory lane and seeing the cool hair styles on everyone!  You all are rocking the hip hair styles! 😂

I got some funny ones I will have to dig up.  I lean we will be more like age 20 or 21 vs 33.   So if you have the early 20’s pictures … feel free and share those too!

Kolleen you look like a fashion model!

Dan, Yohanan and Perhaps Today … wow look at all that hair and you’re all rocking the beard and/or mustaches!   LOVE It.   I miss the 1960’s – 1980’s styles. They were classic.

Yes my lovely Kolleen, on this our sixth anniversary I will not disclose your age, nor you’re beautiful photograph’s age.

OK, I DID IT!!!!     It only took 8 tries, I’m not good with computers – give me a typewriter and some white out!  LOL

This is a 1987 family Christmas picture so I cropped out hubby and our  7 kids.

I don’t look toooo much different today, other than wrinkles and sagging.   I started turning gray at 30 and hubby said he didn’t want to be married to an old lady with gray hair, so I’ve been blonde. He is over 70 and has beautiful brown hair and we both grow pony tails and donate them to Locks of Love.

I’m not comfortable with all this new fangled technology either.  I don’t want to try to struggle to change my avatar, and I don’t have a picture of us in our 30s anyway, but in the spirit of camaraderie I will give you all a peek of who we are, as of a “few” years ago.  As for ages now, let’s just say Bob is the same age as Israel and I’m considerably younger.

We were married for 6 years when I had some female surgery.  My Irish Catholic Dr said it did not look good for me to have children.  So we tried hard and prayed. Well my Dr was shocked.  I became sort of “famous” in the maternity ward, and when #7 was due, everyone showed up from the hospital – it was lunch time.  We didn’t know the baby’s sex, (but I sensed it was different then the boys.)   My 2 oldest sons came with Grammie and Dr daughter.  There were 28 in the delivery room with all the hallways filled. Well, it was a girl and we named her Maureen after my Dr daughter. I was a strict Mom.  All of them were scouts, with the 6 boys making Eagle, all had 3+ years of piano/organ, active in church and were on honor rolls at school.    Our local paper did a Mother’s Day picture of us.   The best memory I have is when my friend who had 6 girls came over and all 13 kids were together.  The little ones were playing with toys but the older ones were talking about being part of a large family.

How fun that you all are joining in on this!! Now I have to hover to associate names and faces!

So….waiting for those big bangs Geri….!! And your thought on my picture was interesting, because I’m 99% non-photogenic in life. I run from cameras when possible!

So Yohanan, did you see Geri’s thought? “ I lean we will be more like age 20 or 21 vs 33 ” So that highschool photo squeeks in closer to 20 than 30 haha!

Thank you my sweet Dan for non-disclosure of my age haha! I’m so relieved we’ll all be exchanging the years, gray hairs, and creaky bodies for our upcoming younger age of Jesus.

Lee ~ amaaaazing! Training up 7 children in the Lord Who they will not depart from! That was a lot of diapers ~ and so-helpful hand-me-down clothes!

Such a handsome photo Terry! We will imagine you at 20! and find you in Heaven!!

And look at all our bearded members – definitely looking like brothers then, and brothers in the Lord now!

I stumbled across it the other day and posted a recent photo of my dog and me. After stumbling, I don’t know how I got there. 🤪

Well … if we are going to be close to 30ish … this was me at 33 … I’m cracking up because one of my nephews is sleeping besides his cereal bowl in the background. 🤣 He was up at the crack of dawn playing with his Hess truck … that thing made all sorts of ear piercing sound effects.  We all wanted to sleep in.  So now all the rest of us were up and he conks out. 😂

This is a humorous pic … we visited my uncles’ house (first time visit) and this is his lovely Dalmatian,  Titus.  I caught him on their daybed with this really fancy quilt and was trying to get him off the bed but he wasn’t budging.  So my parting words were you are going to be in deep trouble.  So I informed my uncle and he said oh that’s Titus’ bed.    So when we were about to leave I was saying good bye to him and apologizing and he raised his paw and put it on my arm so all was forgiven.   He was such a cool dog.  My uncle was saying his neighbors would often call him up to say I think Titus died … he was out on the blacktop of their cul-de-sac and laying down and not moving.  My uncle said he is just sleeping in the sunshine … he would call him from his front porch and sure enough Titus would suddenly jump up for him and then plop back down to go back to sleep.   He is now in heaven

And if we are going to be closer to 20 / 21 … then I will be looking sort of like this … I was in college a few months after this pic.  I do lean more it will be 20’ish and it’s not from drinking tea/reading tea leaves.     I asked the Lord if my mom saw her memorial service and if so, if He could show me … and He did … I had a vision/dream of her looking down from the heaven … and her image was the same as a picture in her wedding album and she was 20ish.

Hello Kent, I had some trouble until I used a little different process than the one described earlier. I went to profiles / change profile photo, and then just dragged my image from my desktop and dropped it in the rectangular box. At this point simply crop your face image the way you want it, and then to the right of the larger photo which shows how you want it, simply press the caption labeled “Crop Picture.”

But now having said all that to you in my private message to you, I only within the last hour realized that you access RITA using your cell phone, I had not read that Kolleen had mentioned a cell phone. After spending most of  an hour not discovering how someone using a cell phone might actually send or receive a private message, I’m now convinced no one with a cell phone alone, is able to use that feature. So I am giving up at long last and hope that you might find a computer to log into RITA. If so, the above instructions work really well.

If there’s anyone out there reading this who has actually been able to initiate a private message from his or her cell phone, Kent and I and possibly several more participants would love to understand how? Such action might just qualify as gold, silver, and precious stones.

Terry, I love swing dancing and the music. I took a social dance class for PE credit at Ball State in Indiana. It was a popular class for both guys and gals.   It was a blast. I was used to the swing music as Dad blared it on Saturday mornings. No sleeping in. Tommy Dorsey, Glen Miller, etc. And who doesn’t love The Beach Boys?!

In addition to not wanting to argue with the computer, The Little Pea is very special; I don’t want to ditch her.

Fancy.  I don’t know anything about that.  I have a desktop computer with the hard drive on the floor.

So I came late to the party, my apologies for being late… I will have to look for a picture in my thirties but I did find one from 1975 — Karen Carpenter was my favorite singer and I did not weigh but a mint. — I will look for an updated 30 year old one — that would be a very different hair style.

I am loving looking at the pictures — this will be easy to recognize you all for sure, great idea.

Yippee Tammie has arrived to the partea!  Now we can all go home!!!   Flight 777 hopefully is this week!!!!     Nice pic. Tammie!   Now we all don’t have to rely on name tags.  😉   However, if the RITA partea also includes the RITA facebook members  … there are what? 🤔 a few gabillion over there. 😵‍💫   Sounds like we might run out of tea😳  … oh … I can hear the groans from all you “former” coffee drinkers … but I’m sure we will also have hot cocoa as a standby to pair with the donuts 🍩🍩🍩and cake /pastries 🍰🍰🍰 so all is well.  

P.S. on this thread … you got to reply to the last person on this thread to keep the last post in the right order.

Thanks for sharing, Whit!  Awesome pic  … what kind of fur baby do you have?

I have a feeling our fur babies will be talking in the next life and now I wonder will they be able to walk or hop on 2 legs and do other amazing tricks we never seen before when the sin curse gets lifted?

Such a sweet sweet picture, Churchgal!  I didn’t realize you have a son too!

Has anybody ever said you look like Sally Fields when she played Gidget?  You could be her twin!

Thank you Geri and I am ready to party — Coffee for me and Tea for thee

Nice pic Whit I am loving the pic idea. My husband says we will somehow know each other, even if we have that flowing white main (I would like that with a younger perfect physic ).

Yep Church girl looks like Sally’s twin — good call. My son is a pilot or was a BlackHawk and Chinook pilot — he’s a colonel now and the military does not let the colonels fly anymore – he is not happy with that. His Dad and he can take up a twin engine — they love to fly — I love to ride along… soon we will not need the accompaniment of the metal machines – just fly up

Silly computer — I thought I had this reply at the end ….

Thanks Geri! I really loved all your pics! and all the pics posted!- it feels like going through photo albums and that has always been one of my favorite things to do. Yes, I have a son whom I love to pieces- has has always been the sweetest soul. I have talked more about my daughter since she is in Heaven and I miss her so but I am so blessed to have him and his lovely wife and my first little grandchild due Feb 3rd… I have never been told I look like Sally Field! She is a petite lady and I am more “sturdy” lol   but this is certainly a fun thread, I feel confident that I will know my Rita siblings when we get there.

Now I have two Frenchies.  LOL!
