I am late to the game on this great site (and internet phenomenon) that encourages people to send in new pictures having inserted an old one from the same spot. Kids change so quickly, I do find myself getting nostalgic for events that were just a year or two ago. The boy in this photograph is all grown up with two kids of his own.
What a wonderful idea – an interesting way to track time and changes in the landscape and architecture around us.

I have a really hard time throwing things away – especially some old t-shirt from camp in the 80′s that doesn’t fit and isn’t worth anything to anyone except for me. This is a good way to “upcycle” your old t-shirts into home furnishings. Am sure Carolynda isn’t the first to do this, but at around $20 per shirt for the quilt, its not a bad way to remember your t-shirts even if that 1980′s neon Mickey Mouse T doesn’t fit around your belly anymore.
At one point, I had enough t-shirts to make quilts for an entire army. Then facing the ever increasing demands on space, a friend of mine showed me their “T-Shirt” album. They took pictures of the t-shirts that they never wore, but wanted to remember. My wife keeps a separate folder for this pictures and calls is “Chad’s Nostalgia Picks.” (Thanks Ellen)

This is a great list of many of the things that our kids will never know about. We can find a few gaps, like the “auto-reverse” function of a Walkman. But that’s really more of a subcategory to number 3, “Playing music on an audio tape using a personal stereo.” But let’s take a moment to honor auto-reverse as a huge advance in personal stereo technology. It meant that you didn’t have to bother actually turning a tape over to hear the other side. Genius. At the time. Thanks GeekDad.
