This week they are featuring California. Now, it's true I was once in California but it was before the Dark Ages so these pictures are really old. Sorry about that.

Great pictures from the 1950's.... I was 8 yrs. old in 1950.. Those were great times in our country and lives. Sometimes I wish we could go back to some of those times--with less technology and not as much stress...

Great photos and memories :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful memories. The more photos I see the more I look forward to them because I now know who everyone is. this was very nice.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby was in the Navy, too. But he was in San Diego in boot camp in 1968. I hope these were good memories for you!
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE vintage photos. These are terrific.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you still have these old pictures...what a treasure you own! BTW...I left a comment for you on my blog concerning the gravatar issue that should help.
ReplyDeletehi Latane,
ReplyDeleteI just visited your blog and it seems like we have more in common than just Alabama, I used to live in California too! Your photos are fabulous, lots of great memories there. So nice to meet you!

Love seeing these! We visited San Diego last year for the first time!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these photos! How neat that you found this meme...I'll check it out! Don't forget, we lived in California again when I was a young teen! You can save those shots for the next time California rolls around on this meme. :-)
ReplyDeleteWOW your photos are awesome. The memories from these must be wonderful for you. B
ReplyDeleteLatane, what a great memory trip and thanks for sharing the photos of your boyfriend, later husband. I have a few older B&W photos of my family and may someday post some on our blog.
ReplyDeleteWe visit La Jolla every now and then, and it has changed a lot from your photos. The beach is quite lovely and there are so many seals close to the shore. Beautiful place to do tidepooling too!
