I am linking up with Deb, over at Breathing in Grace, for Friday Foto Friends. Click HERE to join in. Thanks for hosting this Debbie!
I don't have any new photos for today, so I went looking for some old ones. Some of you have probably seen these along the way, but some of you haven't. I went out to lunch with coworkers yesterday, which was lots of fun, but none of us thought to take pictures. I am going to lunch today with my girlfriends (Cindee and Shirley) and will try to remember to take a picture for my weekend recap.
The pontoon boat my dad made in our backyard.
We had so many hours filled with fun on this boat.
Notice the date is 1960. I was 8 years old. He built the dock too.

1970...I'm second from the left, seated and looking at the trophy.
Notice my long, Dippity Doo straightened hair! LOL
This is where I really grew up, from age 10 through high school.
Millersport is at the western end of Buckeye Lake, which goes on
farther than this picture shows. It is about 11-12 miles long.

Amazing trip to Italy.
Wishing you a good Friday and weekend ahead!! Thanks for your visit! Peace & hugs.
Sadly, I do not have any Friday fotos to share...smiles...enjoyed yours though. Have a beautiful day friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda! Enjoy your weekend!
Deletel always enjoy 'looking back' and your pictures are great. Hope you have a good day. God bless.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. I enjoyed seeing Aryn's picture in your post. She is so pretty!
DeleteGreat pics!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Thanks Kim. You too!
DeleteGreat pictures...love the young dippity-doo girl!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary!! Hugs!
DeleteLooks like you and I both dipped into the past this Friday! I think your pic is darling and the dippity doo certainly did its magic! I never realized before that your Dad built the pontoon boat that you have talked about. Nice pic of Joe at the Vatican. I took a picture of the outside of the Vatican, but should have put Jay in front of it! ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy nephew's wife is from Ohio. A little town called Malvern outside of Akron, I think. Have you ever heard of it?
DeleteI've not heard of Malvern, but know where Akron is. People usually don't know where Millersport is either. I always say 30 miles east of Columbus. Lots of little towns around Ohio. I loved growing up in a small town.
DeleteNice photos. Since I have baby fine, curly hair I used Dippity Doo in the 70s too. I remember it was so gooey! ~:)
ReplyDeleteAnd if you used too much, it wouldn't dry. Learned that the hard way!!
DeleteYour dad MADE that boat??? That's impresive!!!
ReplyDeleteNot to brag or anything, but my dad was a superhero. Had we known about MacGyver back then, that's what we would have called him. He could fix or make anything with something found in the junk drawer. Yes, he found the drums for the floatation, but built the rest.
DeleteI remember Dippity Do...tried to smooth down my cowlicks around my face when the style was much more smooth and sleek, with bangs and sideburns...sort of. Those were the days my friend...we thought they'd never end! Love your pictures...the pontoon boat is great!!! Wish I had one now.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had one too. They are so much fun, and are so comfortable because you can move around on them. Next best thing to a big yacht! LOL
DeleteBeautiful photos! Enjoy your weekend ♥
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hope you enjoy yours too!
DeleteHave a wonderful weekend
ReplyDeleteYou too!!
DeleteI love your photos and what a beautiful place to grow up! My parents lived in Indianapolis for a couple of years and I always thought Ohio was a beautiful place! Happy weekend my friend!
ReplyDeleteA happy weekend to you too!
DeleteDippidy-Doo, ah yesssss! Unfortunately, I didn't have much more hair than now to 'dippidy.'
ReplyDeleteYour Buckeye Lake looks mighty scenic. I've only been in Ohio (Dayton) once, but I'll never forget how lush and green everything looked!
Dayton is probably the last place I would suggest someone visit the first time to Ohio, but I'm glad it was lush and green when you were there! Buckeye Lake was a great place to grow up!
DeleteWonderful photos.
ReplyDeleteI just bought a jar of Dippity Do at TJ Maxx! I used to straighten my bangs with it back in the day. I was thrilled to find it again.
Lovely memories from Ohio. I went to college in Athens Ohio.
My sisters and nieces are OU grads and were just back there last weekend for homecoming! Go Bobcats!
DeleteI HOPE you and Mr. Joe get to go back to Italy one of these days. Your Dad made that boat? WOW! That's awesome. I love looking through old(er) pics! Thanks so much for sharing and hope you have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteYes, Dad made that boat in our backyard. I remember watching him on weekends building it bit by bit. I doubt we will ever get back to Italy. Joe's health worries and my bad knees will make long trips out of the country less likely than 10 years ago.
DeleteTerri, thank you for sharing your sweet pictures. I LOVE your hair in high school. I remember dippity do. I never used it but remember the commercials!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun memories! I'm so impressed by the boat! I remember Dippity Do, but my mom used it with clips to try to add curl to my pin straight hair. Guess it was versatile, right? :)
