This photo appeared a few days ago as a TBT (Throwback Thursday) memory on my Facebook page. I don’t think I’ve shared it here on the blog before.
I really should do some research on other pics of Marshall when he was a little guy to determine exactly how old he was when this was taken, but I’m thinking he was five.
These are our friends, Bev and Will, and I’m pretty sure this was taken during one of Marshall’s birthday parties. Most likely, it was either raining or uncomfortably hot and humid (June 16), for us to have had the party indoors. I have no idea what I have in my hands or what Marshall’s doing.
I’ve mentioned Bev several times here on the blog: she and I became friends when she was just fifteen. Some time later, she and Will were married, and they welcomed their first child, a son, the day before Marshall’s third birthday. We’ve always thought that was so ironic, since Bev’s birthday is the day before mine, all of us in June.
Two other things that caught my eye in this photo: the ‘twist beads’ I was wearing were quite the thing then. AND, that goldfish in the background was probably the one we had that lived FORever. I wish I knew just how old he was when he finally went to goldfish heaven; it may have been a record.
It’s fun to look back on an old photo and remember your ‘little one’s’ childhood, a long-time friendship, and miscellaneous little things in the picture.
