Today marks 20 years of living in the US. Jenn and I moved here from NZ two decades ago today. We landed in Los Angeles, visited Disneyland, rented a minivan, and drove up the coast via San Francisco, Portland, etc to the Seattle area to visit Mom. #ThrowbackThursday
For week 13 of my 52 years celebration, another photo from the 1970s; this time a portrait of me. #ThrowbackThursday #52years
For week 12 of my 52 years celebration, another photo from the 1970s, of me, my brother Neville, and our mother having fun on a backyard water slide. (I have very few pictures of myself as a tween/teenager, so I’m using these older pics.) #ThrowbackThursday #52years
I’ve been posting daily Paladin pics, but how about something a little different — a couple of pics of Pippin on my shoulder. 🐈
For week/year 11 of my 52 years celebration, my first ever selfie via my first (black & white) camera, from sometime in the 1970s. #ThrowbackThursday #52years
For week/year 10 of my 52 years celebration, another picture from sometime in the 1970’s, of my brother Neville and me on a train in a playground. #ThrowbackThursday #52years
For week/year 9 of my 52 years celebration, another picture of me from the 1970’s, at Grandma’s house. #ThrowbackThursday #52years
The Micro.blog challenge word for day 27 is “pompasetting”, which apparently is a Caribbean word for showing off. So here’s me pompasetting or showing off a rare snuggly Paladin on my lap this morning. (Paladin snuggling isn’t rare, but on a lap is.) 🐈📷 #mbfeb
For week/year 8 of my 52 years celebration, another picture from sometime in the 1970’s, of me making a snowman (and my father at the edge of the frame). Seems appropriate given the surprise snow yesterday. #ThrowbackThursday #52years
For week/year 7 of my 52 years celebration, this picture is probably earlier than the previous one (I’d guess around 1973?), but I wanted to include it anyway. My brother Neville, my late Grandma, me, and my cousin Alan. #ThrowbackThursday #52years
