  • I was able to salvage these Vintage 8mm home movies from the 1960's of my childhood. 8mm home movies are fun to watch. This video shows what the style of cloths and hair and cars were in the 1960's and 70's. This video also gives a taste of what it was like living on a family farm in rural America.

I'm impressed that it's more than scenes of birthdays, Christmas, Thanksgiving get-togethers, etc.
      What is compiled here is magical & you've done such a WONDERFUL job of piecing them all together. Your "video story" touches my heart.
      BTW: who's the cute, older sister in the glasses? No-doubt the boys chased after her. 🙂 Unfortunately, there was no girl as lovely as her anywhere near our family farm.
      All the best in 2024,

    I never had a loving family after I was 5 years old and our lives went to He*#. You are very blessed. My mom had seven children and with those were 2 sets of twins, which I am an identical twin. We are still close along with the 2nd oldest of all of children. That's it.. The rest have gone their selfish ways or stopped communications due to circumstances I don't know about. The grandparents were the ones who kept us close and everyone in line. When they died, that was it. Times have changed so much that I'm glad I'll be 62 in 2022. I would NOT want a family in the times we have now. I really enjoyed watching your family video and it left me feeling nostalgic.Your father looked like a real loving man. I never knew my father, and I've only met him twice briefly since my mom left him when I was 5.

    I was born in 1966. Those were simpler times for sure. Years ago my parents had their old home movies put onto VHS tapes for their kids for Christmas. Now those are obsolete too! I need to get them transferred to digital so we can show our kids. Love this footage you have shared with us. 😊
