Blast from the past...

Someone who knew me well, sent me this...this is truly amazing!

I'll have to hunt down some pictures that confirms much of the following.

If you were a little girl in the 70's...

6. You had rubber boots for rainy days and Moon boots for snowy days. YEAH! YEP, I DID!
7. You had either a "bowl cut" or "pixie," not to mention the "DorothyHamill" because your Mom was sick of braiding your hair. People sometimesthought you were a boy. YEP

Let me just add that watching the 'Dynasty' reunion last night set me right back.
I truly miss Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys (there's Shawn Cassidy again...of course, Parker Stevenson wasn't so bad either!
Again, Jenny is living my life all over, as she is hooked on Nancy Drew books. (Those of you that garage sale...you know what to do for me now)
