OK guys - I've been reading this and I've been slow in responding. But you should all be proud of me - I am now officially on Facebook and this! Facebook would not accept me, due to my name ( I'm not to crazy about it myself), so I entered my maiden name to get accepted and then goobered up my password - because I added my "not" married name - thankfully, my kids got it straightened out. Although I'm kind of a techno terminator, I'm getting there. I even have an IPOD, but I don't really like earphones for long periods - speaking of..... Johnny, I had no idea (of course) that you had a hearing issue. I sometimes work with deaf children and am somewhat aware of the difficulties that you might face. Becoming involved with the deaf community is very interesting - have you learned any sign? I do sign (exact English) - so I'm little slow for American Sign Language - which I assume you have been exposed to. Lavanna, Jr High and High School years are so hard! I thought I was so tall that I was a freak! I am 5'7 and probably was that tall by the time I was in the 8th grade. I remember going to the movies with some friends, who were meeting "boyfriends" there. There was one extra guy, but he didn't sit by me. However, he told his friends (who told their 'girlfriends", who told me) that he might go out with me, when he got as tall as I was. I don't know if he ever got that tall, but I was just sure my fate was doomed to be a single, Amazon woman forever. I think I remember that you were a good writer and I'm not sure just how I know that. Did you write any school newspaper articles? And just think, you could gain 50 lbs and look "healthy" - you natural blond, you!. Most of us have gained weight, but wouldn't describe our appearance as "healthy"! She who laughs last, laughs best! Bruce, the last time I saw you was at OSU. You walked up to me, while I had my head buried in a book in the library. I "sensed" a "presents" and I remember looking up, forever - it seemed that you were so tall and I was shocked to run into you. You were my very first boyfriend (I don't think you knew, or cared). In kindergarten, we played on the swings, swinging in opposite directions and saying "hi" to each other, in passing. That did it for me, Bruce. That was, until David Miles came along in the first grade - he had 6 toes on one foot. Bruce, when he took of his shoes and showed me those toes,honey - you were history! Oh, and in the second grade, Terry L. told me he would pick me up in his go cart and take me to a movie. I dressed up and waited all Saturday afternoon, but Terry stood me up - I was heartbroken. Now Carla - I just remember your mom as one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen - gray hair and all. You were so pretty in high school and I'm sure you have only improved with a "little" time. I remember what was maybe your 14th birthday at Teen Town( but I don't remember my 14th). I "think" the first time I saw Steve P. was in a wagon ride for the rodeo parade (unless that was Ricky Williams or Johnny J!) I don't know if I was even in the first grade, but I decided that I didn't like him, because I only knew one other Steve and he was NOT a nice boy! Sorry Steve, what's in a name anyway? I liked you after I got to know you. However, I didn't know about that car stomping escapade until I read this, so maybe those first impressions... I've seen Lynnda, Judy and Jan in person, recently and I know they look good! After I saw Rhea's beautiful pictures, I wasn't so sure about trying to put in my "homemade" picture. But oh well, you guys will find out sooner or later anyway. My loving and truthful daughters tell me that this pic makes my teeth look yellow and my mouth looks like the "Joker" (because of the shade of lipstick.) Truth hurts. Just don't call me "Old Yellow" - I'm not that emotionally strong. I'll try to upload it - I usually write down all the tech steps (that my children tell me), but I didn't this time. So, maybe I'll be on and MAYBE not. I'm not good about checking my home computer much through the week - but keep up the conversation!
