Moment of nostalgia...

Hey everyone!

Not sure why this subject hit me today. But I was thinking that, in all the years that I've been doing this blog, I've never, at least I don't remember, told you guys about...ME!

Considering I've been on this lovely planet for a little over 40 years now...I won't bore you with my HERstory. I won't lay back on your "cyber sofa" and tell you what life was like when I was a child.

But what I will do, is share my past with you in pictures. A friend of mine got onto me recently for doing my last post without pictures. Well, sweetie...this one's for YOU!!! :-)

Before I get started with this walk down memory lane, I ask that you respect your elders...and DON'T LAUGH at my pictures! :-)

Got it?

Great! Ok...take my hand and let's get started, shall we?

Oh, I love that HERstory! Gosh, you were such a pretty child and teenager! I though your current beauty was probably due to years of plastic surgery, but clearly not! LOL! Sorry, couldn't resist that. Really, you were a darling child, much like those girls who claim you as their momma!!

Thank you for sharing those photos. :)

Lyn, you're so sweet! Thank you for the kind words. And I'm not even mad that you spilled the beans about my years of plastic surgery! LOL Me? Plastic surgery? Are you kidding? I don't even like having a pedicure! :-) Thanks again!

Sienna, thanks for stopping by! Hope to see you here again!
