A Blast From the Past
June 22nd, 2008I am in the process… the LONG and FILTHY process of clearing out a huge shed of 15 yrs worth of stuff. Old papers, pictures, baby clothes from my girls (they are 33 and 26 now), fabric pieces from my dress making days, collectibles like Coke stuff and craft stuff. Boxes of school work from the girl’s elementary school days. Broken and unused furniture (4 mattresses! and 3 bed frames that the mattresses don’t even fit!). I have been taking things to the dump (so much of it is rotten from flooding and cardboard boxing) and taking things to Savers/Goodwill. Some of it, I am repacking into proper plastic tubs with sealing lids on them.
I ran across these old pics of me - the first two are from 1973! the third is a photo from my CA driver’s license dated 1981
I sure was skinny!
I was very pretty then! If you can see between all of the red spots that the pic found in the box that it has been in since 1984 when it expired. My dad always used to say that I was pretty because I got teased about being 5″9″, my red hair and my name. It always made me feel bad but he always tried to make me feel better. Looking back, I think he was right.. I wish that I had seen that at that age, I am sure that my self esteem would not have in the toilet until I was 48 yrs old - that is when I met my husband, who not only tells me that I am pretty now but he shows it by how he treats me. Love you, husband
