Blood & Tackleball

 Two more movies that are on my 1960s & 1970s playlist:

Valentine's Day Party: Middle Earth (02/10/2024)

Here are some photos and short videos from our annual Valentine's Day party. Thank you, everyone, for a truly wonderful time!

I always film my entrance, but it is, for whatever reason, too long to upload without saving to YouTube first -- and it is also 90 degrees sideways for some reason as well! So, to start it all off, a screenshot of the door will do, for now!

Videos Of Kate Hadley, Vera Benge & Erma Walker (Among Others)

My Great-Grandma Kate -- Kate Martha Warwood -- married Myron Whiteley in 1910. Grandma Vera was born in 1920. The following video is the only one I remember seeing of her, and it is nice to see them together, too. The end of the video also has my Grandma & Grandpa Walker: Erma (Winn) and Franklin Vernon Walker. There is another video of Grandma and Grandpa Walker visiting our home in 1969, along with four other old videos. Enjoy!

1968, December: Whiteleys & Walkers

Seven More Three-Minute Moldy Oldie Goldies

Seven more silent, three-minute Super 8 movies of my family in the 60s & 70s. 

I am putting these on my YouTube channel playlist called 1960s & 1970s.

1968, Fall(?): Puddle Love

Auto Biographies: Pinewood Derby Tales (November 8th, 2023)

Let's start with the coolest thing first: Esther's car's splendid slo-mo wreck:

One wheel finishes the race.

Silent Movies + A Talkie

Elder Benge helped me get started digitizing some of our family's old Super 8 film, as well as some of the Digital 8 cassettes I have yet to record. So far, I have 12 of the old Super 8 three-minute reels done, spanning 1968 to 1977. There are more to come.

Today, I uploaded all 12 videos to Youtube, and I share them here. Each one has information in the description about the time, who is in them and what is happening, so I won't duplicate that information here.

I also uploaded, as a bonus, part of our Valentine's party in 2008, where we had many wounds (especially Gideon) trying to slay a dragon. (I, the King, just couldn't stop laughing.)

1968, November: Bret's First Birthday
