This is my husband and I in front of our first brick and mortar store in 1988.
We were so proud.
Our kids had just both gotten in school and we thought it was time.
We were right next to a bar called the Bosses Office.
I loved that name.
Time flies when you are having fun, and even when you are not, so you might as well have fun!
Wow Marie, old pics new pics!! I noticed you changed the picture on your blog too!!! Love the Fimo Factory, so really you are not just the clay lady you are the clay couple!!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
ReplyDeleteOMG!! I always knew you were married to ZZ Top! What a cute pic of you two youngsters...How looks like he's ready to go bet on a horse...just sayin'. Love this!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL!! I though it was time to put up a new profile pic. The other had been taken so long ago, and I have aged big time!
ReplyDeleteEven though I wanted to stay the other way it was time to update and face the gray and fat.
We have been the clay couple for an age it seems.
;-D
Thanks Jo, pretty funny, eh?
ReplyDeleteLOL!! Your comment made me chuckle Mer.
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely a remember when moment, yes?
Hi Marie! I love the pic of you two! :) And I think I like the 'now' pic of you better. You DO NOT look the least bit old and gray!! xox Pam
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun picture Marie! You two look so happy! And your new profile picture is beautiful! The "new" haircolor looks good on you, you know! :-) And youre still a pretty lady! xoxo Donna
ReplyDeleteHey, pretty lady! Awwww, I LOVE your new avatar photo! And what a great, nostalgic picture. Oh wow, the 80s!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling much, much better now. Sounds like you had a wonderful Mother's Day, and I'm so glad. Your MOM plaque is fantastic! Reminds me of a great tattoo. :D
I like that picture too Pam. So young and naive and ready to go out and do great things with our enthusiasm and bright shiny faces.
ReplyDeleteThe other picture of me, now, shows the blows to my idealism. ;-D
Every one of them.
It is me now though, so thank you very much.
It is fun to look back so many years Donna. It seems like yesterday though. LOL!! Everyone says that don't they?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Donna. I could go get a bottle of hair dye, I guess, but the roots grow out to fast!
I haven't dyed my hair since my husbands sister died, she did my hair.
Hey Bella, thank you dear one!
ReplyDeleteI feel better and better everyday, thank goodness.
I did have a great Mother's day, did you?
Thank you, that is why I like that plaque too.

Oh and thanks Nicole. It was time to change the picture, over time.
ReplyDeleteWe thought it was the cat's meow Nicole! I remember the feeling of awe, that we were doing what we had dreamed of.
ReplyDeleteSo cool!
Fun is the best, but sometimes so elusive when we only see the toil, eh?
Thanks kj. I have to dig hard to find that innocence and pure gusto now a days.
ReplyDeleteYou are right though, it is still inside, somewhere.
kj he is an interesting man, always will be.
I am never bored though, I am grateful for that.
WOACA???
ReplyDeleteI must be slow, Jan. I have been trying to figure this one out LOL!!!
It is fun to go back, sometimes.
Naive is probably more like it Pattee, LOL and invincible, I thought I was invincible and I had all the time in the world.
ReplyDeleteLittle did I know.
Thank you Pattee!
Gosh...cool photo. Takes me back to my own younger days. Naive can be good sometimes, yes? Wondering about WOACA myself. Congrats on hanging in there and all the sucesses you made, as a business and a couple!
ReplyDeleteThanks Janie. I will see if I can find out what WOACA means.
ReplyDeleteNaive can be good sometimes, yes.
I was much happier naive ;-D
Thanks Janie, it has been a long strange trip.
