bonsaial1

As you all know, (bored by now) I;m remodeling the house I bought. While packing things up and moving them from room to room to do painting and stuff, I found this photo album. I began looking thru it and said to myself, Wow, I really did that back then and thought it was good. Well I did. It got me to thinking I need to post this stuff so you can see that I too am human. I have a few skelatons in my closet.

I started bonsai on my Honeymoon in Jan. of 1984. I came home with a first plant and a new book. The plant went on to die, I read the book till the pages fell out of the binding, and the kids from the two merged families began to take over the house. I needed someplace to take refuge. Bonsai is where I turned. I worked in the backyard on trees every chance I could.

I will grace thepages of bonsaiTALK with a few, no.. make that alot of photos to share and laugh about. I have a thick skin and nothing you can say about these efforts will bother me. Chastise away my fellow enthusiasts, and I hope to see some old photo's here from some of you old timers.

These are scans of old photo's and they are not very good.

I start out with a pic of my children with the second buy of stock I ever made. The small elm in the foreground will be pictured later looking pretty good. My son was 8 and my daughter was 5. Add 19 to that and they are grown up and out of the house with families of their own now. This is 1984
