This is a picture of my Mom and I on my birth day 47 years ago…it wasn’t my first birthday though, that came a year later—in 1962! I suppose today technically could be called my “48th birthday” if you add the one I had one year before my first birthday.

Here’s something to think about…even though I might say I’m turning 47 today, I am really done with 47. Starting today, I am actually in my 48th year of life, but I will say I’m 47 if someone asks me how old I am (if I can remember)! Confusing, huh? And now that I think about it, my Gramma Ruth is nearly done with her 98th year, even though she (and other people) say she’s ninety-seven-and-a-half.

Moving on now… Hey—I did have hair! And yes…they did have color film in those days!
