Yours truly, circa 1982.

Wheeee!

Don't you wish you could be as carefree and frolicky as this?









OK, so the feet got a LITTLE chilly eventually... =)

Make a wish!

Gotta love a simple yellow cake with good old chocolate frosting...

These lovely calla lilies were just delivered by my FedEx man, from my dear friend, to celebrate my birthday today! Aren't they just gorgeous?! I cannot thank her enough for the love and kindness she has given me over the years. Even if I am a weird egg. ;)









SOMEBODY didn't like not being the "subject" of the photoshoot though...

"No matter how little money and how few possessions you own, having a dog makes you rich." -Louis Sabin

My handsome little man Grover. I've been in more of a reminiscent mood lately, and not so snappy with my camera. Going through old Grover pics... he was such a little peanut!

(Pardon the photo quality - these were either taken with a Sony Mavica that recorded to a 3.5" floppy, or scanned on an ancient scanner 7 years ago. Ha!)

















And now he's my strong, handsome, goofy man.









Thanks for humoring my walk down memory lane. =)
