Oh. My. Gosh. The photos of you in the early decades crack me up. :) Love the hand posing.

Big Love is still on? I thought there was only one series!

Thank you for the romp down memory lane. (don't think I will go there yet- to many plaid polyester pix)

I agree w/you on anyplace warm! And no icy roads.

Strange how you used to be a lifeguard and that is what I do now. Especially since the idea of being a midwife or labor/delivery nurse keeps popping up in my head.

Aw Lisa! How completely adorable!! You still use the same poses.

I'm passing on the Tag but thanks for thinking of me. ;-p

Ah-I am riffling thru my photos now, and plan to do a decade a week thru the month of February.

The saddest thing about your whole entire meme is that I KNOW where the hell Burkburnett IS. And your town. How is it that I never ran into you?? Hey, did you ever go to those quilty things Judy Hopkins had at the quilt shop WAY down south??? The overnighters?

And Bravo on the steeking-did you go for a stiff drink after? EZ says to!
