Labor Day weekend is always a tough one for me. On the Thursday just prior, 1998, Matthew woke up and said, “Mama, I’m going out in the backyard to say ‘good morning’ to the dogs.”

A few moments later, he yelled for me. “Mama, Lady won’t wake up.”

My heart sank.

Here’s a blast from my high school past: A newspaper advertisement for a musical, “Rough and Ready,” presented by our A Cappella Choir. Check out my long hair! And don’t I wish I could zip that skirt now. I thought I was grotesquely overweight in high school. Hard to believe, when I look at this photo, taken in the fall of 1973, that my self-image was already that decimated by the time I was a senior in high school.

Note that they called me “Jane.” :cry:

Here’s the blessing: We only have to survive high school once!

Why do we do this to our children? We position them so that they are facing the sun or bright lights, and then tell them to smile and “say cheese”!

With my boys at Marine World-Africa USA in Vallejo, California. I think this must have been about 1994 or 95, based on how old they appear to be. Matthew looks like he’s somewhere between 3 and 4 which would make Robert 8 or 9. I think this was during a field trip with Robert’s summer day camp group. I remember that Matthew wore his new Lion King outfit.

April 1998, Manhattan.That’s me in the middle. My friends and I spent the morning at the ABC Studios where “One Life to Live” is taped with my dear friend, Clint Ritchie, after which we all had lunch.What’s interesting about this photo? Last week, I pulled that outfit out of the back of the closet and wore it for the first time since shortly after this picture was taken. It fits once again!
