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 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.
Wonderful collection of photos and memories. I like all the birthday cake images.
ReplyDeleteTake care, enjoy your day and have a happy week ahead.
Have a great week yourselves, Eileen and family!
DeleteI don't seem to be having the same problem, Barbara. Maybe it's just a glitch and will come back.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope so...it's like searching in the dark for my favorite blogs...did they not post today? Where are they? Fortunately I can still find them eventually!
DeleteThere are some blogs which miss me now and then and I do a search. A glitch in the works. I don't think it relates to content.
ReplyDeleteI figured probably just my paranoia. But I also figure glitches are like error messages from programs, and so I change a bit of something to see what happens.
DeleteMust be a glitch, Barbara. I don't think of your content as being offensive in any way at all.
ReplyDeleteCan I just say that the photo of sixteen-year old you in your beautiful Mexican clothes and jewelry is a glory?
I love the cakes.
I've had the same complaint at times, low page views and few comments. Am I boring? Some days I don't have time or energy to read or comment.
ReplyDeleteYou were a beautiful teenager! And what great baking, decorating and sewing skills. A wonderful collection of birthday photos!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of perms, I was informed by daughters and granddaughters that the trendy salons in our area just do styling and blow drying and coloring (and I guess extensions). Many do not do perms anymore. . . Say what?
