I started "Friday Photo Flashback" because I have so many pictures from my PRE-digital camera days. I thought it would be fun to scan them and share them here with you. I'm having so much fun doing this, that I would love for you to join me, too! So dig out the photo albums and put your scanner to good use!

This is a picture from a Women's Tea that we had at church, when we lived in Hawaii.
I was a baby Christian, and was still intimidated by the fellowship with other Christian women. The women at the church were wonderful, and I'm so glad that that was the first solid church we attended when my husband and I got saved.
I am carrying Miranda, and my sister is standing next to me. Sitting down are my sisters friends, who we sat at the table with.
I will never forget this day, because I didn't feed Miranda before we left that morning. I was thinking we were going to eat as soon as we got there. Little did I know about the worship first, and then a short message. So, after about an hour, Miranda is STARVING, and by the time it was time to eat, she had zero interest in cucumber sandwiches. She literally GAGGED when she took a bite of it. Thank goodness there was a mini store a couple of doors down, so I took her in there to get something in her tummy. And, can you believe the only thing I found edible was a candy bar? I had no choice but to feed her a Hershey's bar. So, here is my poor five year old, starving, gagging, and dry heaving right outside of church! I laugh now thinking about it, but back then, I told myself that I was not taking her to anymore tea's!

LOL, I would have been freaking out if that were me!!! I'm glad it worked out!
Hahahaha poor Miranda, at least you've found a candy bar to fill her up..
Poor Miranda! I would have totally freaked out if it happened to me! Great FF, Alicia.
hahaha.. poor kid... :) well, there is always a first time. i think this has happened to me before too!
Oh goodness! What a memorable tea...for sure! Aw! She looks so sweet. Was this on Oahu? What church? We went to Word of Life, when we lived on Oahu from 1989-1991.
Blessings & Aloha!
(I hope to finish my post so that I can link up again :o)

Cucumber Sandwiches? I would have gagged too! Glad that you can look back and laugh now!
Oh! poor Miranda... she looks like my granddaughter Zane now in her photo.lol!
OH my goodness!!! You would never guess by this adorable picture! :)

that's a great story!! but i would've gagged on cucumber sandwhiches too...even not hungry. :0) love the picture!
The picture is precious. She is so little. Poor thing I hate to gag.
Too funny! I suppose I can understand that a 5 year old would gag on those kind of sandwiches...nothing like a candy bar to tide her over. I would take one.
Poor baby! Hey friend i've missed you!!!! how are you?
That's the worst...especially when you are trying to make a good impression on a new group!
Poor thing! But look how cute she was! I bet nobody cared a bit that she gagged on their cucumber sandwiches!
What a memory! :) I'm sure she didn't mind the Hershey bar as much as you did. ;)
hilarious! The story behind the pictures is priceless. Have a great day!
Poor Miranda. Good thing she doesn´t remember it. I remember days like that with my babies. Especially traveling from church to church.
One day my oldest who was just toddling, fell backwards and hit his head just as we had arrived at a new church. We finally got to the Pastors house only for him to throw up on the their rug! He must have had a slight concussion. UHHHGGG!
Thankfully these days pass and praise the Lord you kept going to Ladies meetings at church! ;)

what a sweet photo and memory
for you!
i hate to think of all the horrible
things i have fed my children when
in a lurch.
they survive! :)
What great memories!!!
What a fun memory to look back on (except for the hershey bar bit, LOL)... I need to get back on the Photo Flashback meme, we got a new computer and I haven't gotten the hang of scanning with our new printer! :( I better get a learnin', eh?
Oh no, it can't get so stressful when our little ones are soo hungry. sounds like you handled it well. And really, I bet she was NOT complaining about eating a candy bar! I wouldn't =)
Poor Miranda. I wouldn't have wanted to go to anymore teas with her either. : )
It's always funny when looking back. I'm glad you had a solid church when you were a baby Christian. And there's nothing like feeling like you belong. It sounds like a great group of women.
I'm enjoying this meme of yours and I thank you for hosting it Alicia.
Blessings,
Debbie
Poor Miranda, I don't blame her. I get very cranky when I get hungry and as much as I love little cucumber sandwiches it wouldn't do,lol
I am now following you from FF & hope you have a great Friday!!!

So glad you had that wonderful experience as a baby Christian. Mine was terrible worse and left scars. It's hard to think Christians can be so willfully hurtful.
I'm glad you could find something too for the baby! that would have had me in a tizzy too!
I always walk with snacks for just these cases!
Well you certainly can't tell she was gagging....she looks cute as a bug.
I'm not laughing...no, really, I'm not giggling under my breath...seriously. That would be too unkind of me, especially because my children would never have put me in that kind of situation! Never! Cute picture, though...you really couldn't tell. P.S. Does anyone really like cucumber sandwiches?
I have a bunch of pictures I really need to go through. I really need to learn to use our scanner. Hey, a candy bar has a the food groups, right!? :)
*Friday Follow*
Don't we all have mommy moments like that, lol?
Great pic. You look so pretty :)
I don't know. If I could say that I lived in Hawaii...all the suffering would be worth it!
Wow Alicia! You have so many people joining in on this Friday Photo Flashback...now I'm really sad I don't have a scanner! I'm going to go online shopping for one right now so I can get in on the fun.
