A is for Abode.
As a child, I lived at many addresses, since my father was in the Air Force and moves were abundant.
Above is my first abode. I admit that I was much admired and acclaimed by the adults around me.
My next address was across the sea, on an island called Guam. (I am the over-active littlest kid awaiting a swimming adventure.)
And here I am in another location with my amiable brother Art. He must have agreed to pause the sled as I ate snow.
At last, a few abodes later, I appear with my tall(er) little sister. From there, I met my amour and ambled off and acclimated to our own address, anticipating an ambitious and amusing adulthood.

I'm also using this post to play Remember Whensday.
Oh, what a fun post for the day, Janie! I love it! I wasn't a military "brat", but my kids were. But by that time the military -- or at least the Air Force didn't move you quite as often as they did at one time. Still, we did our share from Texas, him to Vietnam, then we went to Germany and Spain and finally Montana. Have a great day!

I enjoyed this nostalgic tour! I lived in the same place all my life--my father was a farmer--and always envied those who got to travel and live in far-off places.
ReplyDeleteGreat post....did you realize there are almost 50 'a' words in your post!
ReplyDeleteYou have lived all over.
ReplyDeletethat was fun Janie...love the family photos
ReplyDeleteGreat family photos! Absolutely adorable. :)
ReplyDeleteYou haven't changed a bit since you ambled off with Steve. Great black and whites.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post and glimpses into your childhood.
ReplyDeleteAnd a fetching young woman you were!
ReplyDeleteI misread abode as adobe!
I've had over 30 abodes, none of them adobe.
As part of ABC Wednesday Team, I want to thank you.
What wonderful family photos! The first one is beautiful. And you eating snow is so cute. You got alot of As in also.
ReplyDeleteThis is so great...so many great photos Janie!!! You look so cute, through all your ages and stages!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat nice memories those photos must be! How adorable you and your sister are.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering what would come after "Z". I love that last shot of you and your sister.
ReplyDeleteYou have had an interesting life. I enjoyed your "A" post.
ReplyDeleteJanie, I love seeing old family pictures. You were/are a Cutie Pie... AND---You look like your mother. At least in that first picture, I could see the resemblance.
ReplyDeleteThanks SO much...
Hugs,
Betsy
Fun photos ... it's always a mental marathon, ran in a moment, to look back. Somewhere along the way I lost all my old photos. I think that's why I take so many of them now!
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing all your photos. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, now weren't you just a cutie heading off on your own adventures.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting life you've lived, Janie. Are your parents still alive? You sister/brother? Where have they settled. I LOVE your new look blog and header. (((Hugs))) Jo
ReplyDeleteExcellent post! Very amusing and fun!
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you come on over to my blog and visit a while
Great take on A!
ReplyDeleteA fun way to treat the letter A! You led an interesting life.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet, fun post! It looks like you have your mother's smile. =D
ReplyDeleteI think you are still much admired and acclaimed by the adults around you. What a great ABC post.
ReplyDeleteAn awfully awesome and admirable attempt at A -Words!
ReplyDeleteHow funny that your 'little' sister grew so much taller than you! That must have felt very strange.
ReplyDeleteLove the old photos, especially the first two. You must have been a handful!
You would have been the kid I envied. :) My uncle was in the U.S. Air Force and my cousins travelled the world. Me? I was stuck in the same town until I was 16. I was very jealous of my cousins!
ReplyDeleteAwesome post, Janie! I loved the story the pictures told as your family moved from place to place.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these in the Remember Whensday meme!
oh my gosh! how cute you are! I love these photos and the story that goes along with them.
ReplyDeleteAstounding! Aren't you adorable!?!? A+ awarded!
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome post dear Janie. I love the old pictures and the last one is gorgeous! Hugs.
ReplyDeletebeautiful post
ReplyDeleteGreat post---I love the old photos. From the clothes and hair, I gather that you're about the same age as I am (I'll be 62 in February).
ReplyDeleteDid you like moving often? I imagine that having several (some same-sex) siblings made it easier. Hey, I used a little alliteration, too!
ReplyDeleteThose are great family photos! Thanks for sharing!
