FLASHBACK PHOTOS

(Not the best quality, but they fit the prompt. 😉)

Spring 1975. Suburban Toronto. Me with our new puppy, cockapoo Sheila, and our snazzy 1971 Ford Torino 500. Sheila and the Torino are gone, but I still have the poncho! (And the guy who took the picture.)

Fall 1994. San Diego, California. My father and me at Old Town, a well-known tourist attraction.. My parents moved south in 1974 and lived out their lives there. It was my second home!

    1. Welcome to The Den, Lydia. This is the post that I linked up to Keith’s. 🙂 If you want to visit his post, I have made reference to it within the page. Thanks for coming by!

      keith rambling reference

    1. Thank you, Thomas! 🙂 I loved that Clint Eastwood movie, but his car was a 1972 Gran Torino Sport. Ours was a 1971 Torino 500. It looked cool, but was a real lemon, mechanically. 😛 Lots of problems with the starter, etc.

    1. Thank you , Sandee! 🙂 Canada’s 150th birthday was a fun, yearlong celebration. Mine will only be the one day. 😉 (And, thankfully, I’m not THAT old!)

    1. Well, I’m not sure how exciting it is to be another year older, but I’ll enjoy the party, regardless. 😀 Thanks, Carol! Glad you like the photos.

  1. Such wonderful memories and I love the fact that many held such pretty shades of aquamarine, Debbie! Pretty color on you, too! Love the suburban Toronto and the shot of you in Old Town! I was just there myself on Friday! Great to see all the public art and how the colors pop in the murals! Have a great week!

    1. To be honest, I was surprised to find so many photos that fit the theme. 🙂 That outfit was a favourite and I pretty much wore it out over the years. Margaritas at Old Town were a must on every trip I took to San Diego. 😀 Hope you enjoyed your stop there last week. Has it changed much? I think my favourite restaurant, El Fandango is gone. 🙁 I’m glad you enjoyed the various art displays as well.

  2. Debbie,

    You seem to have just the photo to meet the color challenge. In my opinion, aquamarine isn’t an easy one. Bodies of water like yours is a really good example of aquamarine. The car you’re standing in front of, what is it? It reminds me of an Oldsmobile. My parents had one in the early 70s that was two-tone like this except instead of aquamarine, it was light blue. That was the first car to have AC which we thought was super cool! 🙂

    1. I have thousands of photos to choose from, which helps a lot! 🙂 The car is a 1971 Ford Torino 500. It looked cool, but in reality was a lemon. Lots of mechanical issues, especially with the starter! 😛 Unlike you parents’ car, it didn’t have air conditioning. Thanks for coming by, Cathy.

  3. A brilliant selection of colour and memories Debbie and Happy Birthday for later in the week.. ♥
