I think it's cute that a dog can be named skippy..Did you know about Skippy the kangaroo at the time??

Humph, I want my skinny body back

I think nearly everytime there was a photo with me eating an ice cream, I had always dropped mine......note ice cream on the sand! Oh yes, that's me on the left.

AND how I hated bows in my hair, yuck!

Keep posting them, I love seeing photos of you guys.

I named him after the peanut butter... LOL.

Red, you DO look like Pippy.
Sorry to hear about your photos.

My mother made that dress. I loved it.

That open bulkhead looks like an accident waiting to happen!

Interesting timing on this thread. I'm visiting with my folks this week and wanted to scan a couple of pictures of me & a longtime friend. I scanned a few more as well for other reasons. And I did find this one of me on a bicycle (flip flops, suicide brakes...):




And here's a glamour shot. I don't think I've looked this good since. I now have to pay for that blonde hair.

OK, finally getting around to this. Since I can't figure out how to put the text under the photos (it's just been an hour project for us to scan them, as something was not working), here's the info.
The one with binoculars: I was 4 and it's in front of Plymouth Rock. Yes, it's just a rock encased in a gate. 1957
The one with me and my 2 friends at the skating rink is on my 8th birthday. i was heavily into skating, lessons, etc 1962
Then, there's a picture of me and my boyfriend, where I am in a long dress. God, how did I get my hair that straight? That's in my junior year of HS, 1970, at my sorority formal on the Queen Elizabeth in Ft.Lauderdale. Well, it was really a Jewish youth group (BBYO), but in the south it became sorority-like.
The one with me in the fancy dress and white gloves is in 1966. I was going to someone's Bar Mitzvah party. I loved that dress. My dad bought it for me on a business trip to Dallas, at Neiman Marcus (they weren't in the east back then).
Then, there's one of me in 8th grade, looking very modish, with my grandparents and my brother who was 3 in the background. 1967.

The white dress.
The gloves.
Gramma's coat!
The goofy brother!

Wow.

I kinda like G-Ma's coat

Hey Mimi, another woman, non-cycling for another all-women forum that I belong to, saw your childhood photo.

She nearly freaked because she also has a photo of herself and sis on 2 separate bikes in Wildwood NJ.

And, just as you did a painting of Obama, she recently sold her handmade soaps, of which 1 of the designs is Obama's face.

She lives in New Mexico, raises goats, sells her own line of handmade soaps. I don't know her personally.
