Funny Photos

My mom recently gave me two passports that I had as a kid.  I gathered up the two that I have had as an adult.  Not long ago, I applied for and received my fifth passport.  My husband and I want to be ready in case we travel out of the country, like maybe Canada.  Anyway, here are the photos from those expired passports.  I'm not posting the new photo; the old ones are better and will give you more of a laugh, especially with the embossed stamp across my face.

The first one was taken in December 1958; I was 12 years old.  I needed the passport in order to go to England, where my dad was stationed with the Air Force.  Don't you just love the glasses?!  My mom made the dress.  In fact, she made two--one for me and one for my twin sister.

This second photo was taken in 1963 (age 17) for a passport that I needed to go to Japan, again with my dad.  Another great pair of glasses!  I must admit that I've recently seen people wear ones that look very much like my old pair.  Me, I'd never want to wear that style again.  I still have the rocking-horse pin that you see on my dress.

This photo was also my engagement photo and was taken in 1970.  I have on a red dress, and my hair curled too much because it was a humid day in Arkansas.  I got the passport so I could travel to West Germany to marry that guy who was in the Army.  (I also wore that red dress on our first date and when we were married at the courthouse in Baumholder, West Germany.) 

This last photo is the funniest of all.  Don't I have a goofy smile?  And can't you tell that was a '70s haircut?  This photo was taken in 1979 because we were stationed in West Germany a second time.
