65 Years Ago--August 28th!!

Well, I finally made it--I never thought I would see this number!! Sixty-five is a real milestone. This is my first picture taken when I was four-months old!

I was a well- photographed baby! It must have been because I was born five years after Mama's 7th child, Betty, and had several older brothers and sisters with cameras.

This is me "looking cute"! At least that is what they told me to do, and I would put on this "cute" face!!
I loved that old pump we used to have which was later replaced with a bucket we dropped down into the well. I drew many buckets of water out of that well when I was a kid.

They tried to make a cowgirl out of me, but I never quite fit the roll! I never was a tomboy either. I loved dolls and playing house--and just looks what it got me! Five kids and 13 grandchildren!! I love every minute of it!!!


Guess what? My hair is the same color now at it was back when I was a baby--white!! I've had white hair for over 20 years. I guess that is called going back to your childhood when one gets older!! That and trying to act like a kid again riding a Sea-Doo. (See my last blog.)

Well, I finally found out the difference between a Sea-Doo and a Jet Ski. A Sea-Doo is like a motorcycle without the wheels, and a Jet Ski is like a motorized water ski that you stand up on and ride.
