DEYSI IN IMAGES JOHANNESBURG - JUST HITTING HER STRIDE

How Many Views: 27

All too often in the hustle and bustle of moving family around, organizing trips, making sure everyone was happy, grooming us, and just generally keeping the world right, Deysi (or Ol’ Bubbaloo if you are brave like me) is left holding the camera, holding our gear or otherwise found missing from many photos. However she was always there hovering over us and our guests (when we had some), and putting the glue into each and every outing or each and every photo. No shots were taken unless everyone was at their best.

Trust me, she was never in the background and run a pretty tight ship. It was basically Deysi who kept everything lively and everyone having fun. She reined me in whenever I might forget myself and had “too much” fun. In South Africa she really “hit her stride”. Now with her two girls she felt her family was rounded out, they were growing, and she was having fun watching them. She had old Jimbored under control and could make him (me) whimper like a dog, on command. In this Post I am going to show some shots that I and the girls took of their mother in her prime of life. The time was 1988, 1989 and 1990. Enjoy.
