1971 Party

Yes JNAN, you too mingled with the Bongos! ...

We drank Dr.Pepper and played pool. Dkee wore crazy red, white and blue pants again. Jpen had on crazy pants too. Cfar was bored or asleep. Dcog was the pool shark, but seems like Cbru (Jpen's date) was too. These other folks .... I cant remember names! lol CAN YOU? Oh, I do remember the blonde in the rocker was who Chop married, Jhei (Heinz like the pickles), but where is Chop?

Fort Worth Fat Stock Show

It's JANUARY & that means STOCK SHOW! Every year we hit the midway having a blast. Rides, flirting, food, checking out the barns of animals...

Parades

Fort Worth is where the WEST begins - none of us were Cowgirls or in the Cowboy groups, but living in Fort Worth, we understood the history. We went to the annual rodeos year after year. Schools closed for a Stock Show day, handing out free gate entrance tickets to students.

For such a tradition, I only have a few pictures from 1969. None of us would dare wear cowboy boots during our teenage years, however by the time I was 30 - I did have several pairs, for boot scootin' two stepping of course!

First picture is of Jkle & Bbow and the Midway behind them.

Next Jkle just had something GOOD to eat!

Hippies in the trees! This impressed us....

Jpen having fun ...

Jpen thought it was real cold, Cfar calling her mom to come pick her up ... no cell phones then!

Welcome to the New Year !

Happy 2009!

Did everyone stay awake and watch the new year arrive? Dick Clark's party just isn't what it used to be.

Many years as our parents had SS Socials or parties to go to, Jkle and I happen to ring in the new year together. As young dignified teens, we would run around the house screaming Happy New Year with all the noise makers. Really a lot of fun. I wanted to run outside this year, but Bob wouldn't go, and it isn't as fun without a partner in crime...

As we remember 2008 and contemplate the new 2009, my prayer for each of you is that you enjoy many more days of joy than sadness and that the new year be filled with adventure, love, and joy.

Live it to the fullest! (without regrets)

Peace & Love to all and Happy New Year!
