Friday Photo Flashback

This always happens to me. I am going through things looking for one thing and I stumble on something else. Usually the thing I find is something I was looking for previously. That is what happened while searching for today’s photo. I had something completely different in mind, but stumbled on a classic.

I am pretty sure that this is a photo taken on Easter Sunday. I am also pretty positive that this was taken at our house, as I remember that ugly couch. Look at that thing! Wow! Now, I could be wrong and this may be at my grandma’s house. I say that because they also had that horse picture hanging on their wall.

Apparently, this thing was quite popular back in the 70’s.

I absolutely love the photo of my brother and me. I’m not sure who thought that putting us both in matching suits would be cute. It could have been my folks, but it was probably my grandma.

A few years after this photo was taken, Fantasy Island debuted on TV. From that moment on, this photo became known as the Fantasy Island picture. I was Mr. Roarke and my brother was Tattoo.

Smiles, everyone! Smiles!

I cannot help but chuckle at (1) the suits, (2) the buttons, and (3) the wide collars! Good Lord, what were we wearing!?

After staring at the photo for a few, I need to grab one of those alcoholic drinks that were given to Fantasy Island’s guests when the got off the plane!
