I am endeavoring to collect as many childhood photos of our Garden Park residents and staff as possible for the September / October newsletter. Here’s my 1995 self: seminary graduation with Gina.
Some of the childhood photographs I have gotten are shocking: a mischievous looking 6-year-old who is now a puzzle fanatic who curses non-stop. You can just tell she has always stirred things up in the best way.
The glance of a teenager in sepia tones posing with a telephone in the 50’s is the exact look I get within a nano second of my phone being held in her direction for a snap. She has graced many SB Magazine ads because of her ability to instantly pose.
My co-worker in the kindergarten graduation gown and white mortar board may have a perfectly straight smile now but is still as joyful and wide-eyed as she was back then.
Ms. Mary celebrates her 99th birthday today. She has brunette hair and a better memory than I do. Today when asked if she feels 99, she replied, “Some days I feel 25, some days I feel 70”
Maybe Gertrude Stein was right, we are always the same age inside.

Yes, love how pictures give us perspective. Grateful to have walked with you through 2 graduations, and a lifetime of memories from our teen years onward. How great that you see the youth and a glimpse of the history these dear ones have lived.
Love how you enjoy them, each and everyone!
You are the beautiful soul who has seen it all. Your wisdom has carried me more often than I can begin to count.
I love you!
