Throwback Thursday: Us Gordon/Chu Females

 

It was the spring of 2000. From L-R Gma Louise Gordon, my sister Lani, her daughter Jasmine, Me, my sister Maile holding her daughter Kea, my mom Lynda. Wow, that was a long time ago! Today Gma is gone, Jasmine is 20 and Kea is 16. Time flies!

Throwback Thursday: Our Move to Kansas

We moved from Iowa to Kansas on October 1, 1991 and were welcomed to Kansas with freezing rain. Bryan was five and a half, Per was 24 and I was barely 23. We had found our duplex as a stroke of luck when we happened to see a for rent sign near the apartments we had just seen on 103rd Street & Antioch (not anywhere near the duplex). I called the phone number, we went to see the duplex on West 83rd Terrace & Farley Street, we gave her a deposit for it that afternoon, and moved a few weeks later. Meant to be? Yes. 

Throwback Thursday: Per and Me

I had just turned 22 and Per was 23 on October 13, 1990. Our wedding was in Orem, UT and this picture was taken at Aspen Grove (in the canyon, a little bit up the road from Sundance). The backdrop isn't canvas, it's real. It was a beautiful fall day.

Click here to see a great video. I loved watching this guy on PBS. He had such a calm voice and was an awesome painter. Did you know that he permed his hair to save money on haircuts? He didn't have naturally curly hair but his hair became one of his trademarks.
