Your know that great little feeling and smile you get when you put your winter coat on for the first time, put your hands in the pocket and find a dollar? That is how I feel today. While doing some decluttering I found a roll of film, pictures taken but not yet developed. I was not sure how old it was, but I figured if it had expired that was ok, at least I had tried. So, I dropped it off on June 1st, my sister's wedding day and I was there buying more film... I know, get a digital already! Anyhow, I forgot about it till yesterday when I was cleaning out my wallet and found the receipts, then I thought, oh, I bet the store tossed them because it was more than a month ago! But they had not! And what a surprise! They are pictures of one of Jay's first drill performances from JROTC in high school. If I can get the darn things loaded I will post a few here. Anyhow, it was bittersweet, but nice to see them. And it dawned on me then, and yet again, that even though Jay just left for basic training 6 weeks ago, he really was preparing for his life then.
Enjoy!

Oh how fun! I just love little surprises like that! Happy Sunday!
What great shots. I too have rolls of film laying around like that. When you develop them it is like getting to relive the experience.
