A look back, way back

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!

  3. LOL!! 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!
    Even 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

  7. Hey, pretty lady! Awwww, I LOVE your new avatar photo! And what a great, nostalgic picture. Oh wow, the 80s!

    I 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

  8. 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.

    The 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.

  9. It is fun to look back so many years Donna. It seems like yesterday though. LOL!! Everyone says that don't they?
    Thank 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.

  16. We thought it was the cat's meow Nicole! I remember the feeling of awe, that we were doing what we had dreamed of.
    So cool!
    Fun is the best, but sometimes so elusive when we only see the toil, eh?

  17. Thanks kj. I have to dig hard to find that innocence and pure gusto now a days.
    You 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.
