Flashback Friday...T-shirts

I fondly remember this t-shirt my dad is wearing...I don't remember what is says...but I remember him wearing it a lot when we were kids...

Trent's 1st Birthday....July 1980
....the same shirt more than three years later and with two more kids....

Christmas 1983

I decided to put these in too...Mum made a lot of our cloths when we were little and I think she made the one I'm wearing

Check out the patchwork in the background!!

Great pics. Look at the price of the clothes in the background. What can one get these days for $5.
What is it about men, they never throw anything away.
The patchwork was the first thing I noticed about that photo.
