I'm a Life Long Bookworm And I Love Old Photos

This is me. And it is a classic. Even at a very young age, I had already mastered the look. "Ummm no.. I have no interest in playing hide and seek with you, you silly boys that claim to be my brothers. Can't you see I'm in the middle of a very good book?"

Truth be told, if you look closely at the photo, I believe the book might be upside down. I am most certain one of my brother's was probably pointing this out and making fun of me which brought on the icy stare of the little sister... Fear the little sister! They found that out later, I'm sure! :)

Their teasing, however, not diminish my life long love of reading. Eventually I almost always had the book right side up and read everything I could get my hands on! From all the books in the church Sunday School rooms to ordering books by mail from the public library when I was a kid living on a farm in the country. They were delivered and returned through the USPS for free! I read every Nancy Drew book and every Hardy Boys book that was available.

Going back to the photo though... I'd like to note that my Mom should totally get credit for inventing the Princess Leia hair style almost a decade BEFORE Star Wars came out in the theaters.  And I mean the ORIGINAL Star Wars!  Few people know where the idea came from.  Until now....

Also of note.... for those that know me.... You can already see that my feet had grown disproportionately large, relative to the rest of my body! Ha ha!! You'd think I would have better balance, all things considered!  Just one of those things that makes me unique!

I am enjoying finding these old photos. They make me smile. Although the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the photos could be better, I am thankful to have these memories preserved! 

Keep on smiling!
