Flashback Friday

Since birthdays abound this week (my grandfather on Thursday, Ruth on Saturday, my uncle on Saturday, me on Monday, Lachlan and Vance on Wednesday, my awesome cousin Annie next Monday, and another uncle on Tuesday), what else could I post for this week's flashback but a birthday picture from a bygone era? Okay, maybe not that bygone. Twenty-one years ago, there was me, blowing out candles, with one of my sisters helping and another watching with fat little chubby cheeks. I remember the cake. It was a hickory dickory dock one.

In other news, I have a new little camera! It is cheap and small and not very powerful but it makes me happy because I have been without one for so long. I have never got used to not having my camera, though; I felt like an amputee. Now I can look at the world again on a 2" LCD screen and live vicariously through the images captured there. Hooray! And because I'm so excited, I took a photo of my photo, instead of scanning it in the usual fashion. What can I say? I am a dork.

Amanda -- thanks for the birthday wishes!

SimplyThis -- how did you scrape through without getting "detected"? The innocent face is all an act, I tell you! (and I hope the hand balm works for you!)
