At Home In The Ozarks

[9:23 PM | 14 comments ]

Late December, back in 63...

then...

My Dad, me and my sister Shirley
(I am the tiny one in the middle)

Fast forward 45 years...

and now....

J-bug, me and Shell-bug.

They planned a very special birthday party for me,
with homemade cards and cupcakes.

J-bug sang "Happy Birthday" to me at least 15 or 20 times.

Shell-bug keep telling me what an awesome mom I am,
and that I still look great even if I am getting old.
(kids...you gotta love em)

It's been a great 45 years and I am looking
forward to even more awesome years yet to come!
