Our daughter Kelly was just shy of four months old. At first my mother's confused as she looks at herself on TV, while I videotape them. She's reversed on the screen! But as always with her, laughter was just a quick comment away.
My father says he hopes they're both "around," when Kelly's old enough to watch this. My mother, in her typical fashion says Kelly will be scared when she does because she'll think her grandmother's wearing a mask. At that point the laughter doesn't stop.
You'll laugh just as hard when you watch this 1982 video:Chris & Frank REVERSED!

A few years before, about 1979, the gas crisis would once again hit & only my mother would find it funny to watch my father sit in line for gas. These videos are a combination of 8mm film dating back to the 1950's with vintage photos that are as old or older, mixed to compliment audio I recorded in the 1970's.Each is a laugh!
Read the description of each to better understand what it's about.

You'll enjoy this clip too of my mother & Kelly. My mother always asked the grandkids if they wanted to play house, and she would at times do so. She doesn't do that here, because there's no table in the room. TABLE? Sitting under a kitchen table she would pretend that was the house & the grandkids would play with her under it. This moment occurs just before the above video: Kelly & Grandma Tocci 1982

These are the lottery tickets my parent's purchased the day after Kelly was born.
A classic example of just how lottery players use specific events to pick their #'s.
None won, but my father wrote the reason behind the #'s on each ticket:
NY Lottery Tickets 1982
