Family Resemblance

When visiting my father the other day, we started reminiscing about the past, and dad pulled out an old photo album he had. I took some photos of the photos with my iphone, and I thought I'd share. A rare glimpse into my father's side of the family. 

This is my dad's mother (not Grandma June - that's my mom's side of the family).
She died when my dad was 10 years old. Do you think I look like her?

My father as a little boy.

My dad was a bit of a bad ass when he was a teenager.

My dad as a teenager, slyly giving the middle finger. When I was 13, he taught me how to play the guitar.

Here I am! Even then, I loved being the center of attention and having my picture taken.

Hamming it up!

I defined the phrase "daddy's little girl". 

There was a period of time in the 80s where my
dad had a reeeeeally crazy mustache.

Love this one!

My dad has had this picture of us in the heart frame for forever. We decided to recreate it - the 2012 version.

Do you think my father and I look alike?

A Real Doozy of a Piece

Damn, I hate it when this happens. I have one of the most amazing vintage pieces (probably in my top 10 most amazing pieces I've ever come across - I'll make a top 10 list of my favorites in the next post!), and I just don't know if I can part with it. 

Tell me what I should do!
