Thank you for all of the wonderful phone calls, e-mails, cards and surprises today. I have had a wonderful birthday. And now for a little fun…..here I am THEN and NOW…. and a few funny pictures in between! If you aren’t a family member you will want to SKIP THIS POST!!!
My DD Christi made restaurant quality PENNE for my birthday dinner and I must be slipping because I didn’t take a picture. That is HOW GOOD IT WAS. I couldn’t stop eating it long enough to photograph it!
And to relive a wonderful memory with my DD Jan I am going to watch FRIED GREEN TOMATOS TONIGHT.
Isn’t this funny- me in the old fashioned stroller!! I wish I had it now – I would fill it with fat quarters.

OLD FASHIONED STROLLER!!!!
Here I am with my parents – I believe my Grandma Albertson made my baby dress and probably by hand. I had curly hair – even then!
Yes, does anyone remember that I actually flew 9 stories up in the air – suspended by 2 wires – at the Crystal Cathedra Christmas and Easter Pageantsl!!!! HERE I AM FOR REAL!

Don’t ask me why because I do not have a clue, but for as long as I can remember I have been fascinated with OLD THINGS. The older, the rustier, the more paint missing, the more scratched, the more primitive, the better. I like old milk cans, old signs, old buttons, old quilts, and yes, even old people. LOL. I think that it would have been fun to have traveled in a covered wagon and fixed up a little log cabin. Of course that would mean that I would have had to cook…..sigh. Maybe I would be a Scarlett O-Hara pioneer woman!!! LOL. Or maybe I could be a pioneer woman for just a little while!!!! 🙂
SO, that being said, you will now understand why I took and LOVE these pictures from Field Day of the Past….I love the rust, the old Singer treadle sewing machines, the tractors (hey, I grew up in Kansas City and I am a city girl who loves horses and tractors and rusty trucks and wooden logs!) Most of all I lOVE tomato pie and the homemade ice cream – REAL HOMEMADE ICE CREAM (it is on my list of FAVORITE THINGS) – wish I had some right now!
I hope you enjoy some of my FAVORITE PICTURES from the Field Day of the Past in Goochland, VA!

I loved looking at…and taking pictures of the animals at Field Day of the Past in Goochland, VA this past weekend. If you are not in a “ZOO MOOD” you should skip this post! 🙂
My favorite were the alpacas – especially the babies (eating out of Catherine’s hand while still remaining in the safe shelter of their trailer). Also take note of the rooster that I caught in the act of CROWING and the turkey that I caught in the act of GOBBLING. I also accidently caught a goat doing something else – but I deleted that one!
So, if you are in the zoo mood, check out the various dogs, cows, horses, bunnies – yes, and even a couple of pig tails – couldn’t resist! I love the series of pictures of the horse getting friendly with Catherine.
