1966

I remember sharing a room with my sister, Amy in an apartment complex (we lived in a large 3 bedroom townhouse). So many kids to play with.

Polly Flinders smocked dresses

Playing with blocks and dolls

I remember getting a shock from an electric socket...having a soft chenille blanket that was a pale yellow (I think) - I loved the little raised flowers that were it.  One time I spilled juice on the blanket and was worried I would get in trouble - so I put it in the dryer thinking that is how it would get clean!

1965

1965 - The Sound of Music won Best Pic that year.  I am told that I went to see this movie when I was 3 yrs old and stood nearly the entire movie - mesmerised.  This is still my favourite movie!

Vacations in Florida each year - long car rides, stopping at the Green Frog motel in Georgia.

2013...an opportunity to start again...

As this is my 50th year on the planet - I decided to TRY to highlight each week a photo from each year of my life (so far).

I'm very lucky that my mom gave me some beautiful scrapbooks a few years ago - so I have lots to choose from each year.
Celebrate!
