Birthdays from yore.

 Birthday celebrations from my past.

(I hope this posts, but recognize that blogger has somehow pin-pointed myself as interested in photos of myself and family when we were younger...at least that's my guess as to why I suddenly have been dropped from comments and posts of my favorite blogs in a timely manner.)

After I took Home Ec classes, I started baking the birthday cakes for the family. Using mixes of course. Here I am also wearing a skirt I made, which was bright red. This might have been my 14th birthday. Living in St. Ann MO.

After our trip to Mexico to visit my great aunt, I posed with my pretty necklace, blouse and skirt - and my 16th birthday cake.

My little sister's 4th birthday in Houston TX. We both had Toni home perms. 

My sister on her February 3, 1958 birthday. She carried on the family tradition. But taking outdoor photos in Missouri meant different attire than my August birthdays!

For her 16th sister Mary also sat outside in St  Louis weather, then marked the photo with the wrong year, since it was 1960.

Fast forward to sharing a birthday in my mobile home in Tampa with my niece, Lisa and her father, Eric. Perhaps it was her birthday in April, 1973 or 74. Don't know where my sister was when this was taken.

Sharing with my Sepia Saturday friends who live all over the place and celebrate birthdays with cake!

It seems suddenly I'm not receiving many comments, nor posts of my favorite blogs updated on the list in the right column. Is this happening to anyone else in blogger? Maybe whatever I'm writing is offensive to the great Blogger algorithm, if there is one. But I miss the social contacts.
