Everyone has created such lovely template pages. Iam very behind, had a few bad days with health and to top it all off i had to get a new computer and transfer all my stuff. However hope to finish this workshop, but it may take some time.
best wishes to everyone,
Dawn.
And 2 other layouts from this time period.
In 1982, my parents and her sister/husband were going to rent condos in Hilton Head for a 2 week period in June. The first week they had the kids join them. There were 3 of us kids. The 4th one couldn't go as he was attending Boys State for the State of Ohio that week. 2 of the 3 kids were married and 1 of the couples had a 20-month old daughter. The other couple was expecting their first child. I was single.
We spent a lot of time on the beach since our condos overlooked the beach and the Atlantic Ocean. One day several of us went to Savannah to do some touristy things. It was my parents and I, my 2 cousins and 1 spouse. Mom's sister and her husband, the grandbaby and the other spouse stayed back in Hilton Head.
Kit unknown. These were some of the first pages I did back in 2008.
I'm using ages 24 - 30 for this month, the years 1980 - 1985.
At the age of 24 (since I turned 25 later in 1980), I made a trip with my boyfriend and another couple to the Kentucky Derby. We decided to go maybe on Wednesday and plans to get a motor home fell through. So on Friday, after we all got off work, we headed out and hoped to find a motel. Needless to say there were none in the Louisville area and we kept going south on I-64 and ended up finding a room in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. It was also well after midnight. We got up early the next morning and headed back to Louisville. We paid to get in the infield (nothing like it is today). Lots of people and unless you were lucky enough to get a space by the fencing, you really couldn't see much. However, Jim let me sit on his shoulders and Darrell let Jodi sit on his shoulders. But I will admit, I still didn't see much of the race. (Note: I finally got to see the race a few years ago on YouTube!)
We had decided to head to Mammoth Cave National Park which was south of Elizabethtown on Sunday, so after the race, we headed south again. Sunday morning we got up and went to the park. After touring there, we headed back home. A side story was this was the year of a filly named "Genuine Risk". I bet a couple $ on the filly to "show" meaning if she placed 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, I would win money. My other bet was a horse owned by Jack Klugman (the actor) to Place (finish 1st or 2nd). Sadly, that horse finished 3rd. However, Genuine Risk won... I got $18! Jim made fun of me making that bet but he had to eat those words later as he ran out of money on the way home and couldn't buy our dinner... so I did!
It is only fitting that I post these this week since the Kentucky Derby is this Saturday, May 3rd. And, wouldn't you know, it was on May 3rd in 1980 as well!

Day 7, I finally got finished! This was a bird feeder at one time and then the cats came along. They decided it made a lovely place for an afternoon nap. It's on a pole so they have to jump from the deck railing to get in it. The bottom is screen so they get lots of air and shelter if it happens to be raining. They are Shadow, Whitey (all white except for an all black tail, Eclipse, Patches and Shiner.
The font is Harrington, The background and clouds are from CF, the pics in the circles are mine and I made the butterflys in AD. They are actually made with the letter B!
Thank You Carole, this was fun to do!
