I was going thru old photos today and was going to post this tomorrow as I thought I only had 5-10 or so photos to post....but then saw it was over 20 so I decided to do it tonight as it will take quite awhile and I don't want to s[pend all morning tomorrow doing it so here you go. I picked ones that are my faves. and that bring back the happiest memories. It's funny,too: when I look at the old photos I don't seem to look as ugly as I remembered and thought I was back then, esp. compared to now that I'm old, fat, and wrinkly!
This one here (above)is my friend H and I in my livingroom in my old Toronto house when I was 16 in 1983.

Me also at 16, in L.A in March 1983 after I got a hair cut.

Me with our puppies age 15, 1982

My friend S in 1982. He was the coolest person I have ever known.

My Chihuahua Chrissy about to give birth.

Puppies!
You can also see our old brown brocade couch at the top behind them.
H and I and my dog Teeniea at Centre Island.
I was 14.
Look how skinny I was.
See? I wasn't always fat.
Or old.

The summer of grade 8. I had my first salon hair cut.

My BFF as a teen.

My hubby and I in the beginning at our friend's NYE party.
December 1988

Me at age 20 with my bike in Ottawa.
I had really long hair( down to my waist) and it was an unbearably *HOT* summer so I got it all cut off short.
I loved that shirt! It was my fave. and I still remember it.

I used to play violin,too.
Age 20, 1987.

Me with my long hair, and my dog Yuri,1986/87

This is what I miss losing the most in the fire: the sweater my Babushka knitted for me, shown here.
I was 20 at the time.

Me at age 12 with my first dog and wearing my Cougar boots. I loved my puffy red jacket,too.
1979

Age 20 and still doing gymnastics.

Grade 8 graduation. I was at my ex-friend J's house and that was her wallpaper.

My 12th birthday party 1979 with my friend N, the one I most regretted losing.
If you look closely on the left you can see part of our French doors.
That was the last year I was truly happy.

My mother buying a camera in 1980. She would have been 38.
This is how I choose to remember her and probably how she looks now on the Other Side.

Me age 8-9 doing gymnastics visiting my aunt in the summer.

Note the old-fashioned wallpaper in our old Toronto house?

My cousin M and I(with my pet gerbils on his hat. Can you see them?) wearing our Blue Jays hats at Centre island in 1977. I would have been 10 and he would have been 13 or 14.

Me age 16 (with my dog)prepping for a suntan. That was my suntanning chair and outfit. I'd slather baby oil on and turn on the radio....

Our old house in L.A.
1984

My ex-friend J(she was the one that betrayed me) and me(I'm on the table at the back) doing splits. Age 15 or so, 1982 or so.

My friend D in my bedroom holding my dogs. She's the one I'd hang out with in summer and winter break as we went to different schools.
Early 80's.

I just want to feel happy.
