Daddy's Side

Another Picture Heavy Post ...My Daddy's Side

I often sit and ready Vintage blogs they are my escape & kick back time, but rarely have anything even remotely "Vintage" To post about :-(

My life as a Yoga teacher doesn't offer many Vintage moments, and even when I go out it it mostly casual Levi's & Chucks kinda moments so hardly photo worthy lol.

But I recent scanned  some amazing old photo's of my Family from my cousin that I think are worth a share

Grandpa (Jack DeGraff)

Grandma Violet (DeGraff)

My Handsome Daddy (Roger Degraff)

Vintage Yoga?

While Googling "Vintage Yoga" (2 of my fave things) Hoping To Find Some Outfit Ideas Decent Enough To Teach In ....I found A Wonderus Amount Of Old Photo's To Share. Since I Am Always Looking For Blog Ideas (And Because I found Soooo Much Material) I am Starting A Monthly Vintage Yoga Series. Finally Something Vintage To Blog About!

Who Better To Kick This Off Than The King Himself Enjoy!

The Amazing Len Cook

My maternal Grandmother's second husband was the most amazing man!

He was the only Grandpa that I was close to. He was a very special man. He passed away when I was still quite young, it was very hard on me.

Among his many passions and occupations were things like Magician, Race Car Driver and Creator of Robots! He passed away when I was still quite young here are some tidbits of his enchanting life.
