Arizona Centennial

They blocked off several blocks downtown.  Right outside the building where I work was a military village.  Here they are talking about the Buffalo Soldiers.

and some in old uniforms

there were some really cool tanks



byplanes flying over (there were bombers too but I didn't get pictures of everything)

an old west town

where you could pan for gold and see gun fights

an Indian village

the Indian village was my favorite I went back a couple times

Salt River Pima Indian dancers

Hopi dancers

a Mexican village

and lots of old cars

AND!!! they opened the old City Cemetery.  So I went in and found my Great-great Grandmothers headstone.  Looks like it was placed recently though.  Elizabeth Anne Shelton Gordon was buried next to her grandson Clarence Boston who died age 17 months after drowning in a washtub.  Clarence was my grandfather's brother.  There is no stone for Clarence.

Flashback Friday

1970
TOY STEALER! 
He's taking that toy away from me and nobody is stopping him!
RUDE!
Okay, on the back of the picture it says "Johnny's birthday presents."
I guess that makes ME the toy stealer. So, um, never mind.  hehe
Anybody recognize that blue Volkswagon?
It comes back to haunt me later.  How many stitches, Mom?
