Fun Monday - Brought to you by the number 5

Nekked Lizard Man and Nekked Lizard Lady are hosting Fun Monday for the first time ever! It's always interesting to see what a new host will come up with. NLM and NLL decided to keep it "simple". We'll see...

FIVE PICTURES - FIVE WORDS PER PICTURE. Any 5 (FIVE) pictures, any subject, and any 5 (FIVE) words to describe and/or explain each picture.

Uh-huh. Let's have a go, shall we?

Dad
Saturday morning memories of Dad.


Me and Liane

Me on top of Moulvre

Billy Idol phase?

Your entire post is bracketed by treasures.

Great job.

Molly said...

That is a treasure. I love your picture with the world awaiting. The caption really does fit.

Celeste said...

I love the old pictures.

What a find in the closet cleaning - some day, I will get to it. Really.

SwampAngel65 said...

Are you serious? That guy's a cop? Scary....

Fun pics! Who's the cute baby?

Sayre said...

Yes, the Billy Idol look-alike is my brother Andy, who is now a police officer.

The cute baby is ZBoy at age 4 months. He turns nine at the end of the month!

Megnificent said...

I loved all of your pictures. Especially the Michelin baby!

Faye said...

Where were you in the eighteen year old photos? Scotland? Lovely. I assume the cop works undercover or really gets out of character when off duty!

Beckie said...

I love, love, love that you used old pictures! I took all of mine today. Great post!

IamwhoIam said...

That is one of the scarest cops I've even seen. Thanks for sharing a little piece of you past

thanks for signing up with us - this particular idea was NLL's - mine was a little more entailed - as I believe it would have involved a scavenger hunt, a clay model made our of play - doh (which is not clay) and whether your toilet paper unrolls from the bottom or top. I doubt NLL will ever give me an opportunity to host. Oh well. Happy Monday! NLM

In my defense, when that photgraph was taken, I was on the cutting edge of fashion.

At the time, I LOOKED GOOD!

Great post. All of your choices are great. Love the baby. About the cop, I'm married to a retired cop, LAPD, I think he was undercover. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Robinella said...

I love the old days. Less complicated then.

Holland has always been full of bikes, it's not an especially green country, and the nun is wearing a cap.

How fun to learn a bit about you from your lovely photos with captions today! I posted my Fun Monday Five yesterday at Small Reflections, but didn’t have time to visit until now … so I’m catching up today. I hope you’ll find time to visit. Hugs and blessings,

I loved how you used past photos for this post and isn't it fun to find things like that?

I think Andy looks hot! You have to keep the fashion of the time as a monitor. He has the mid 80s look DOWN PAT.
