My 8th Birthday Party

My 8th Birthday Party

My cousins and I are dressed in striped shirts. The other kids are neighborhood friends. I look like I'm in love with the cake, don't I?

My mother took the photo.

Thanks km. I think I was a little menace sometimes. When I was a preschooler, I'd wander off a lot. My mother used to tie me on a leash in the back yard so I coudn't get away. It was most embarrasing when the older kids would go by and see me there. I could have very easily gotten out of the leash, but I knew I'd better not. I'd REALLY be in for it then!

Thanks km. I thank my mother every time I look at one of her photos, even though she has been gone for 30 years. The photos keep the connections of my life alive and well.

Lucky you that someone took the time to record your past so you can revisit as often as you wish. Hurray for your mother. I think you look a lot like the original tv Dennis the Menace in those pants and strped shirt! lol!

I thought you knew what I meant but I was not sure if what I meant was what you knew.

Thanks Dud. I knew that's what you meant.

Carol, I am still in touch with my three cousins, but, sadly, I've lost contact with the others. I emailed the URL to the one cousin who has a computer. He likes it a lot.

This is just the cutest picture, I love it.When I was a kid my Mom always made a cake for us we never heard of birthday presents, so that cake was the greatest gift ever. You are so lucky to have this picture, I bet everyone of your friends there would love a copy of this picture. Great, Great Picture!!!
