Julie Vintage Memories

This post will be about some of my vintage memories that I feel like sharing with you. I’m happy that you care enough to be here.

Welcome!

Slides from my Bachelorette Trip with my Friend Scarlett to Orlando.

My Grandmother’s Slide Projector

Metal Slides

When she died, my mother asked if I wanted it? Of course, I said YES!

She also gave me her slides as well.

Interestingly enough, some of the slides are metal. I thought that was cool.

Grab The Popcorn!

And a Coke as we Venture Back in Time….

This is me on a cruise that my grandmother took me on as a high school graduation present. We went to The Dominican Republic, San Jan, Puerto Rico, and St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. The year was 1979.

The name of the ship was The Song of Norway.

I brought it all out to the beach condo with me. I love going through things out here when I am alone. I am out here right now as I am blogging this. I guess before I showed these slides to my family and friends, I wanted to view them first by myself.

Seeing and remembering my grandmother through these slides reminds me of how unique that I am. I’m not here to tell you how special I am. I’m just here to say that most people wouldn’t care. How many out there would want an old slide projector that gets super hot!? How many would plow through so many unmarked and unorganized slides as I have done? Sorting and organizing? I know that I represent a small portion of people that care enough about the past, even a relatives past, to do this. I miss my grandmother so much. To not do it would be a disservice to her.

My Photo Album of My Cruise

We Flew From Atlanta To Miami

Cabin 665

I kept the key. I wanted a souvenir. I love the key, it say’s “Made in Norway” Ving.

It also says “Royal Caribbean Cruise Line.”

The Dress I Bought in San Juan, Puerto Rico

I still have my ticket too. I don’t throw memories away like so many other’s do. I hoard them!

Gordon Fixing the Projector

The Parts Inside were Beautiful!

When I first pulled the projector out of our storage I couldn’t get it to work. So Gordon took it apart to try and fix it. He did! But what we loved about it was all the components that were so old and unique. Also very simple. Nothing complicated which is why he got it to work.
