Forty-five Years Ago....

Posted in True Stories

Dinosaurs walked the Earth......

j/k

Forty-five years ago, in a small suburban town, on the outskirts of Philly, a chubby ten pound ten ounce baby was born.

Birthday photo

This chubby little girl set the new record for biggest baby delivered!  She was the fourth child of two very loving parents who doted on her.

Early Years

Childhood was wonderful!  Off to Art School at seventeen.

Early Years

My first acrylic painting (age 14?)

 

Little bum

Forty-five years today.  I've lived through eight track players, phones with dials and cords, TV's that required you to get up to change the channel (& black & white!), homes without AC nor PC! Yikes!  How did we ever get by?  Through it all, I've known the Lord and that was the best gift my parents ever gave me.  Faith in the Lord.  Bless you all this glorious day. 

Peace and Laughter!

Vicki

Happy birthday, Vicki Sue!!!!

I didn't know it was your day, but I'm glad I popped over to get to know you a little better. That was fun! (Wish you had actual photos of the dinosaurs, though.)

At over 10 pounds, I'm guessing you came out walking, talking, and eating solid foods? ;') Wow! Makes my little 9 pounder sound pretty little. You were absolutely adorable, though! *grin*

Happy birthday to you! I hope you have a WONDERFULLY blessed day today!

ETA: You are a fantastic artist, too! I'm so amazed. :'D

I never pushed out anything larger than 8 pounds 14! Your mom must be superwoman! jk!

Happy Birthday my funny friend! You are a remarkable woman and I'm so honored to be able to share your tears and laughter as you trip along the road of life. I thank your mom for having a fourth and I am thankful for all of your experiences that have made you the wonderful person and amazing mother that you are!

Peace and Laughter!

Those dinosurs were still walking around 40 years ago too! Amazing that we survived them and the TVs w/o remotes! And also amazing that we could make it w/o cell phones and texting. LOL
Happy birthday

Sorry this is late but ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I hope you had a great day!

Strangely enough, I am going to be 45 myself on 5/8. I was the 4th child of loving parents and my mom's biggest baby (only 9'11oz). I have similar memories - I still have some 8 tracks I just can't seem to part with (like Blondie). Do you remember Dittos pants or Bonnie Bell lip gloss? Just curious!

I miss the Reagan years - life seemed so simple then!

Take care,
Kate

So, do I have your birthday wrong? Is it the 24th. For some reason, I thought it was the 23. LOL. Let me know so I can get it right next year.

I didn't know you were an artist....& a good one at that! WOW, quite impressive sista. ;o)
