Throwback Thursday:

This is my bestie from high school. This photo isn’t from high school, though; it’s from my dad’s 70th birthday party (or 75, I can’t remember), and Bonnie came to say hi to my dad. My dad loved her. He liked to call her Suzie Q, but all of the girls I brought by the house were called that. Later he called her Boney. She didn’t mind though.

She still looks the same. I look nothing like I did.

That’s life.

Throwback Thursday

We took a trip to Chicago once. By gauging our waistlines, I think it was a hundred years ago.

I haven’t been a size three in I don’t know how long. And I certainly could never squeeze into that tee shirt again.

Now I’m depressed.

Thanks, Throwback Thursday. I should throw you back into the past, where you belong.

Throwback Thursday:

Chillin’ and grillin’ at my dad’s. Must have been a lot of rain. This was a long time ago. My dad no longer has grass in his backyard. The aspen tree behind me is now at least thirty feet tall and half dead. My dad has long since gone to gas grilling.

Throwback Thursday.

Throwing way, way, way back.

Hmm… I think I used to have eye lashes! I know I used to have eyebrows. Come to think of it, I had a lot more hair back then too!

Hmph.

Now I have a lot more weight.

You win a bagel, you lose a bagel.

I don’t think I’ll be cracking open the senior yearbook again. It almost fell apart in the commission of this Instagram.

May 23

Instagrammers call Thursday “Throwback Thursday.” You are supposed to post some sort of photo from back in the day. Here is mine:

That’s me on the far right frowning. My mother used to do this all the time: line us all up for a photo, then whack me on the top of the head. (Full disclosure: I might have been acting up and deserved a sound thumping.) Now that I look at this photo, my darling little-est sister (at the time) was giddy, much like she always is, and my middle sister was a combination of clueless and otherwise absorbed elsewhere. Much like she is now.

My mother used to dress us like triplets. I did not like it much.

And you thought YOUR mother was a piece of work.

Filter: None. After all, it’s Throwback Thursday.
