Wedding Memories This Week

Posted on August 17, 2023 by vanbraman

This post was written five years ago, but I have been thinking about it this week, so decided to update it just a bit and re-post it.

Wedding Memories – originally written in 2018 and updated tonight.

Tonight my post has been inspired by two wedding anniversaries that were this week.

Wedding, Ottumwa, Iowa, Sister's Wedding, GroomsmanYesterday was my older sister’s 37th wedding anniversary. You may be able to pick me out in this picture. This picture brings back a lot of wonderful memories.

Wedding humor, ring bearer, mustache, combToday was the 49th anniversary of my friends Dan and Linda. I was in their wedding many years ago and was their ring bearer. This humorous picture is sometimes used as my Facebook profile picture. All of the groomsmen had mustaches and were combing them. They decided that mine also needed a bit of combing. I still have the pillow that was used to carry the rings.

Ring Bearer, little jacket, white jacket, weddingI was the ring bearer in several weddings back when I was a cute little boy. This picture is from the wedding of our family friends Sam and Sue.

Wedding pictures, ring bearer, flower girl, weddings, cute kidsHere I am again as a ring bearer in my Aunt Becki’s wedding. Here I am with Evelyn who was the flower girl. I also still have the pillow that held the rings in this picture.

Candle Lighters, Remembering Glenda, 41 years agoWhen I got older I got promoted to candle lighter. My big sister and I were both candle lighters at my Uncle Rick’s wedding.

Were you ever in a wedding when you were a kid?

Wednesday Image Search – Tir

Posted on August 16, 2023 by vanbraman

Welcome to another Wednesday Image Search where I pick a string of letters or a word and share some of the images I find in an image search of the blog.

Last week I searched for ‘pir’ so this week I will continue on with ‘tir’. There will be some gaps in this sequence as not all combinations will find images.

What images will I find?

dog, farm equipment, tires, tractor, farmThe first image is of a dog sniffing a tire on a piece of old farm equipment. I really like old farm pictures.

Frank Andrea Miller - Editorial Cartoon - Snow Tire - Des Moines Register - SnowstormI really like this old editorial carton of motorists stranded in a blizzard trying to keep warm around a worn out snow tire that has been set on fire. Frank Andrea Miller had some great cartoons over the years.

Sleeping, nap time, grandpa and granddaughter, Throwback ThursdayNext my Grandpa and I are both tired and are taking a nap.

Tire in Trunk, flat, donught tire. car troubleHere is a flat tire in the trunk of Old Blue. I had to drive 25 miles home on the small spare before getting it repaired the next day.

Retirement Party, Denver Broncos, Buffet Lunch, CelebrationFinally we have a Retirement Party for a colleague at work. You can tell that he was a Broncos fan.

There were only a few ‘tir’ pictures to choose from. I hope my selections were not too tiring.

Which is your favorite of these pictures?

What should I search for next?  I will probably continue the ‘*ir’ series but not sure what the next letter will be since there are very few images for the next ones in the series.
