FFO From Last Decade - Smile!

 
The face with which I join  Nicole´s FFO and Gillena today is mine....
Maybe you read the post about what I have from my beloved 1970´s... I also found this pic.
This is my Brother´s old room where he´d "parked" some furniture from our childhood.
He wanted to give me these, but... we have a swing, so sadly no space.... 
Hence... I have a bitter sweet SMILE for Annie here.
 
 
I had to read Christmas-poems.... Dad mentioned me by name in these pics, instead for my Brother´s he wrote "Soon Santa Clause is coming". Oh, Dad, I miss you... so here is another face:
 

The "Bride" is a man also - that was a hip fun back in the day, it seems.
So... some fun?


That is why my cam is off...


 
I can work remote for ESE!!! I got a contract (ok, just for "the training", but if I don´t fail I might get my job back!) Monday: teams-meeting with my loved ALSTOM, this time Vienna.

 
HR looked so hungry upon the smell...
 

 And of course...
 
 
To getting lost twice in one day in my hometown.... Bobby????
 
 Henry 🦁
 

 Have a happy Friday! Off to  the beach soon! It´s called... grinning cat.

I remember the 70s well. We never had the “cool” furniture.

You match that couch Iris. Or your zip up matches. Too bad you didn't have room for it. And fun puns and smiles today too. Have a super start to your weekend. hugs-Erika

Beach? It must be warmer there. It is cooler here today.
Kermit always knows best, Iris.

I grew up in the 1970s. I recognize alot of those patterns.

Bill said...

Now that's a classic couch. Good luck with ESE, Iris.

Beautiful ❤️ photos and nice memories, dear friend Iris. Thank you so much for the laughs, and Henry looks great and his little cub is adorable.

DVArtist said...

Ohhh I love that first photo of you. Your dad, such a handsome man. You won't fail. You got this gurl. I love that cat where someone says something stupid. I'm still laughing. Thank you for joining FFO and have the best weekend.

magiceye said...

Was fun going through all your funny funnies!

Bertiebo said...

Ilove that first photo! And the coach. And the smiles

River said...

Baby Henry is so cute!! 💖💖 I'm glad you got the contract with ESE. Sad you can't take the brown striped sofa, I would have it instead of a swing and put the swing on a porch or in the yard. Here I don't have room for a sofa either unless I get rid of this piece or that piece and rearrange the rest....it's all too hard.

Iris Flavia said...

We had it all, it was so beautiful!

Iris Flavia said...

Tom, thank you. It would be so wonderful!!!

Iris Flavia said...

LOL, yes, Erika, even the shoes match! Sad I had on the wrong trousers...
Hugs and to a great weekend!

Iris Flavia said...

RedPat, pics to come! It was cold and then warmed up!

Iris Flavia said...

It was a wonderful time!

Iris Flavia said...

Oh? I checked, the link works from here (Germany)....

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, gigi!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, can barely walk, huh. The beach was great! Hugs to you and the lake.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, the 70´s were so wonderful... And thank you, it´s a start!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, to a nice weekend!

Iris Flavia said...

Let´s not quit!!!! 🤣

Iris Flavia said...

It was cool times!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Bill, and yes, oh, that couch...

Iris Flavia said...

Dear friend Linda, you are very welcome! 😘

Iris Flavia said...

LOL, thank you, Nicole, and yes, Dad was some man... I am so nervous about Monday, though. To a great weekend!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, time runs!!!!

Iris Flavia said...

You´re welcome!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you :-)

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, he can barely walk and Daddy takes care! Our balcony is too small for the swing so it works as a sofa.
If we were rich, huh... In next life, haha...

Lowcarb team member said...

That's a great photograph of you on the sofa.
Good news with the job :)

All the best Jan

Iris Flavia said...
