Goodbye Fortysomething...Hello ?

Today I had the extreme privilege of celebrating 50 years of life.  Thanks to my friends and family it's been a wonderful 50 years.  I'm looking forward to the next 50 30, we'll see after that.

In the beginning I looked like this....poor old wrinkled and stained photo.  But as you can see I've always LOVED to laugh!

Ten years or so later I had grown quite a bit.  How do you like my handmade (by Mom) dress and that cameo?

By the time I was 23 I was married and had two wonderful kids.

By the time I was 31 I had added a third child.  Remember the Glamour Shot?  I had mine made at Wal-Mart - I am NOT kidding... it was WAY less expensive than the actual GS store.  They had a traveling crew that came in to do hair, makeup and photos.  I had the BIG hair without them needing to work at it!  And still would today without a flat iron.

By forty something I didn't have time to mess with that long hair.

And now, even though I still hate having my picture taken, I still play with my cell phone camera sometimes...take a dozen...delete all but one.

Five decades!  Feeling pretty good for HALF A CENTURY!

Much Love & Laughter, 

 Laura
