At Soul's Request

OK, Soul, you asked for it. I don't have a copy of my yearbook picture but this was made within six months of that Sadie Hawkins Day dance. Somewhere I have a hard copy picture that was taken just before I left for that dance. Incidentally, it was a Rainbow Girls (Shrine) dance not a school dance. My date wasn't from the school I attended. He attended one of the private boy's schools in Chattanooga. (His name escapes me.) I - or rather - Dad provided a driver and car to pick up my date and take us to the dance. It was truly an experience.
The picture was taken with my Dad, who had just come home from the hospital following a heart attack. I was 17 and Dad was 75. Do you think that maybe I was an accident? You bet I was!

Mary what an AWESOME picture! I simply love it. I'd love to "Scrapbook" it digitally for you if you'd like.

So maybe you were an "accident". I have 4 kids, none of which were planned. I bet your parents would not have had it any other way, either. I'm sure you were like an unexpected gift to them!

Happy Saturday!

One day we should all dig up our senior pictures. I'm going to look for mine and have my friend scan it. Mine's an oldie too.

I wouldn't have thought of the iron skillet either. And actually, I rolled the dough into too big of a circle, so I put string cheese along the edges and rolled the dough over it. So good, but my lip hurts!
