Meme's the Word!

My very new and fun bloggy friend Ginny Marie over at Lemon Drop Pie has this great idea of posting your links to any of the Meme’s you participated in this week! And guess who she featured this week??

Yep, me. I could not be more excited that she chose my Take Me Back Tuesday Meme to showcase today! Thanks Ginny Marie!

Here is an excerpt from Ginny Marie’s blog:

Did you participate in a meme or blog carnival this week? Link up your post here at the end of every week, and get more for your meme!

  1. Link up using the direct URL to your meme post. If you participated in more than one meme, go ahead and link more than one post!
  2. Visit a few links, and leave substantial comments. You don't have to write a novel; just write a nice comment that shows you actually read the post!

Since this isn't a usual meme, there's no need to write a separate post for "Meme's the Word." Publicize this meme in whatever way you would like.

So go and visit Lemon Drop Pie and link your must read Meme!!

Take Me Back Tuesday ~1981

Ahh, the 80’s.   This is me in the fall on 1981, the year I started Middle School.  Did anyone else not like middle school as much as me??   Way to many hormones to deal with, and a large introduction of exactly what a clique was.  Thankfully where I went to school we only had to suffer through 7th and 8th grade there before being dumped into High School, which was much better for me! 

And no, I don’t think this dress qualifies as plaid, much more of just a light check pattern, of course it was handmade for me by my mom!  I was 12 in this picture. 

1981 Fall

Family vacation at the end of the summer in 1981.  My brother was 15, and obviously not to pleased to be on a family vacation in the first place!  And yes, that is plaid he and my dad have on.  I guess my new Tuesday venture needs to be finding pictures of my family NOT wearing plaid??!! 

 

A Day With Two

“How do you play along? We all have tons of photos from the days before the digital camera. I figure if I just scan a few each week, eventually I will get them all safely into my computer. But you don't need a scanner to participate! - Just find a photo that takes you back to another time. Every week you can come back here and share photos that "take you back." Maybe it is the bad hair we all had in the 80's, the bell-bottoms you swore were so hip in the 70's, or your favorite pictures of your kids! If you decide to participate, sign the Linky below and I promise to head on over and spread some comment love your way!”

Happy Mother's Day!

A mother's love is like a circle, it has no beginning and no ending. It keeps going around and around ever expanding, touching everyone who comes in contact with it. ~ Art Urban

I never had a clue before 6 years ago what it meant to be a Mother! It is so much better than I ever imagined!

Happy Mother’s Day Mom.

Happy Mother’s Day to all you Mom’s out there too! I hope you enjoy your day!
