Tuesdays Treasures…A Boy’s Gotta Do…

 

Sunday we had some of the family over for a belated birthday party for my niece. Her sister chose an 80s theme so there were balloons and lots of pink. 


Take a look at Raffe in this photo!  Remember when we’d have group pictures and someone had to put horns over your head?  He decided to add his own horns. 

 



And, where do you suppose he picked this up???

 

 

Little boys love their grandfathers and his (my brother) loves to kid the grandchildren by putting horns over their heads in pictures.




Boys will be boys, and so will a lot of middle-aged men. 

Kin Hubbard

 

Grandfathers are just antique little boys.

Nina Hollander, Broker Grandparents are treasures. I know that I learned so much from both of mine.

Kathy Streib hi Kathy.... I only ever knew one grandparent... my mother's mother. Sadly, she seemed to prefer her other four grandchildren over me. For some reason she did not care for my independent spirit.

We've got lots of family pictures with horns. We were always goofy with each other and having a lot of laughs.

Grandpa is such an awesome influence on the boys and girls!  I love those pictures and Raffe putting bunny ears on himself for the picture is precious!

Brian England every time I see him, I am so grateful that he is a part of our family. And, I am thankful that he has a better life than he would have had.

I like the thought of being an antique instead of just being old.  Cute pictures!  Did you get a chance to hear some great 80's music, like Prince, Michael Jackson and Tears for Fears?

Ray Henson my niece had Alexa playing it but it was hard to hear with everyone talking at the same time!! LOL

Kathy, when I think about what boys gotta do, it usually is more than having horns above their head!  LOL

LOL Joan Cox oh yes...I ended up with two big balloons high up on a ledge courtesy of my nephews.

OK!  I admit it.  You caught me smiling and laughing at this.  I came from a family with three brothers, and I had two boys and now a grandson.  Boys will be boys! LOL

Kathy doing the horn thing is a favorite everywhere, and it was usually my head that ended up with them.  ☺️

May 30, 2023 02:28 PM
Kathy Streib

George Souto Oh yes, I remember doing that and having it done to me when I was a kid.

Now, I really know I'm old.  How, you ask?  Because young folk today, think of the 80s as being retro.  In my day, retro was the 40s and 50s.😊

May 30, 2023 08:43 PM
Kathy Streib

Myrl Jeffcoat Oh yes, I remember thinking that 50 was really old when I was in my 20s. I would love to be  50 again.

Kathy loved the photos and the post indeed little boys and girls learn from their Parents and Grandparents, too bad many do not get this simple message: set a good example they are watching..... now with that said I never considered myself an antique I like the new definition better than the old hasebeen:)))Endre

Endre Barath, Jr. I agree, I wish that our children had more good role models. Consider yourself like a fine bottle of wine...getting better with age.
