20 Years Ago Today

August 16th, 2007 by Shannon

I started importing old videos from VHS tape to digital last night, and one of them was from 20 years ago today. I made this short video from it.

August 16, 1987. I am 4 and Holly is a baby. My mom and grandmother are also featured. Gramma looks the same and mom is still talking about the Angels.
