I actually posted a great post (I think) last night for today. Then when I was trying to correct a link I erased it all! How I could do that is simply beyond me! In any case I am trying to redo it although I know the prose will not be nearly as good.
I’ve decided to start having my very own Meme on Fridays. It will be called Friday Flashback. I’m trying to create a link back, but please be patient. I know very little about writing actual HTML code, but I am trying to learn.
Okay, the first picture is of my brother, my sister, Mel in the middle, striking a pose. and little squirt me, playing the kazoo. Mel and Dickie were best friends growing up. They were just 2 years apart in age and had so much in common. I was 5 years younger and quite a pain in the neck! Sadly, my brother passed away at the young age of 26 from cancer.
The next picture was taken when I was 15. I had all four Wisdom Teeth removed as well as part of my jaw bone. Back then they actually hospitalized you. I was swollen like a chipmunk, and totally spaced out on pain-killers!
This is my High School graduation picture. I was not yet 17 years old. I loved that dress as it was a mini, mini, mini skirt. I definitely don’t wear them that short now!
This is me with my sister Mel. In our twenties we looked very much alike. I don’t think we look so much alike now. We always joke that we are really twins separated by 5 years!
Lastly, is a picture of Amanda at about four and a half years old. She was the flower girl in a wedding. She did a great job and I was very proud. I have always loved Mandy in dresses and flowers in her hair!
So Fridays will now be my Flashback Fridays. I will be scanning in pictures and then telling you the story behind them. Hopefully next time I won’t erase what I have written!
Such great photos!
Sad to hear about your brother! That’s so tragic. 🙁
You really did look a lot like your sister!! My sister and I also looked a lot alike for a long time and people always thought she was me-though she is 5 yrs older than me. Quite the compliment to her!
Your high school pic is GREAT!!!
I love these photos!!! Especially the first one! Thanks for sharing. 🙂 🙂
LOL! I love that first picture, how cute were we! Great Photos! I like Flashback Friday. Love YOU, Mel
What a nice picture of you at high school and also together with your sister, you really looked very much alike ! I have to check this meme, it can’t last too long because one day there will only be flash backs from the day before, lol !
Your link to Flashback Friday doesn’t work !
You guys did look a bit alike in that shot!
The picture of you and your sister really show you as twins! That’s so cool!
You and Mel really DID look a lot alike back then. I agree – you don’t look so much alike anymore. Love that shot of Mandy! What a cutie-pie!
OMG! You were such an adorable young girl!! And I do agree, you and Mel did look alike!
I love the idea of Flashback Friday! You are very beautiful then and more now!
Love these photos! Thanks for stopping by my blog so often these days! I appreciate the support!
