Riding in The Odyssey with my Dad. This must have been 1981, and I’m pretty sure I’m 7.
I learned to drive in this crazy vehicle; it was the best gift I ever received, despite the fact I could rarely pull start it myself.
My Dad used to take me to all the BLM land around Napa County. We’d spend hours blasting down old mining roads.
The Oddessy was such a fantastic vehicle, I felt totally indestructible! ~ shared by @claynewton

Get into some mischief this weekend, y’all. Make memories worth saving and sharing for future generations.

This is my grandfather, Alfred Ludwig, with his favorite draft horse.

My family was in the ice business in Connecticut from 1889 to 1944. Originally oxen and draft horses were used to haul ice from the lakes. In the background are two ice delivery carriages and the family’s first truck – a chain driven Mack. The photograph was taken in the mid to late 1920’s. ~ shared by @ludwigdermaler

“For last year’s words belong to last year’s language. And next year’s words await another voice. And to make an end is to make a beginning.” (Little Gidding)
T.S. Eliot

My grandfather, Billy Barnes, loved football and all of the bowl games that took place every New Year’s Day. He reveled in the joy of sportsmanship and fair play. I hope I can convey those values to my family, too. He was a gentle giant. Miss you, #64. ~shared by @rachellacour

My grandma Viola and grandpa Bill on their first date in June 1938. They went to the movies at The Pickwick in Park Ridge, a theater that still exists today. They married April of 1940 and were married almost 50 years. ~ shared by @thriftaholic

My grandfather Joseph was a horse jockey who raced in the U.S. and Mexico in the 1930’s. This was taken at the track where he met my grandmother in Aurora, Illinois.

He died before I was born; I wish I could’ve known him. ~ shared by @thirddegreebernie

Me with my Mum. She wasn’t happy unless I had a bow in my hair. We lived on a farm in central west New South Wales, Australia and every Christmas holidays, we’d drive seven hours to Sydney and spend a few weeks at Dee Why beach. It was always an exciting time. ~shared by @janemadge

This is me as a kid, in Belleville, New Jersey, circa 1971.

I was proudly posing because I’d just put up the flag “all by myself” with some parental help. There’s so much pride in that small smile! ~shared by @tomflynn51

Growing up, we fought like dragons versus ladybugs, but at the end of the day we’ve always loved each other. ~shared by @xindyvee

My grandparents have always been the reason I believe in true love. This is one of my favorite photos of them; they were young and in love. And they held each other just as passionately when they grew old.
And I will never stop missing my Grandaddy. ~shared by @rachellacour
