2. Whoa... you l.ook both cute /and/ efficient n/t

[Blue_In_AK]

4. You look very earnest.

Did you like Brownies? I was a Brownie for one year and a Girl Scout for one year, but I could never really get into it, just never felt "involved." Looking back, I think I was kind of a loner as a child. I had two deaths in my family early on, and we moved a lot. It seemed I never belonged anywhere.

My hippie years cured me of that feeling, though. :hippie:

[Bertha Venation]

5. I think I did. I don't remember it very well.

I like your picture. You look like you were having fun. :)

[Blue_In_AK]

7. It was a good time in my life.

8. My dear Blue!

Alas, I don't have any scanned of me at a young age...

This one is from when I was about 13:

[Blue_In_AK]

20. Peggy, are you in the Sierras?

Were you "California Peggy" even then?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. Nope, I don't live in the Sierras...

And I've only been CaliforniaPeggy since I joined DU!

That picture was taken in Big Sur...

[Blue_In_AK]

22. Love it!

You look like you're having a great time.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

;)

[canoeist52]

[Blue_In_AK]

24. And you still have the kitty?

[tabbycat31]

29. unfortunately she passed away

I still miss her. She'd be 20 if she were still around now.

[Red State Rebel]

13. I'm the Cute One on the right :)

This has to be around 1959-1960

[Blue_In_AK]

15. Easter Sunday?

You three look really cute. Your mom must have had her hands full. :)

[frogmarch]

16. Your hair is so

pretty, and also very long!

Everyone who posted on this thread was a very adorable child. :-)

Here's me at a few months and then at 3 years.

[Blue_In_AK]

19. Yes, my hair was very long.

I never had it cut until I was 11 and it was well past my waist. We kept it braided almost all the time, but my dad liked to take pictures of me when it was down. He cried when I got my first haircut. :(

Even as an adult, I've tended towards long hair. Recently, I didn't cut my hair at all until George Bush was out of office, sort of latter-day hippie protest, I guess. I'm sure GWB couldn't have cared less what I did with my hair...

Your pictures are very sweet. I love the second one. :)

[Spacemom]

17. What a great thread! I love all the pics!

[Blue_In_AK]

26. Did your mom make the dress?

It looks like some I made for my little girl in the '70s.

[Spacemom]

31. She might have

I never knew her to sew, but she might have when I was little.

I wish I could find shoes like the ones in that picture. I was born in 71.

[Blue_In_AK]

32. My daughter that I used to sew for

was born in '72. :)

[LeftyFingerPop]

18. I'm the non-furry one.

[Blue_In_AK]

27. Very handsome.

Beautiful eyes. :)

[LeftyFingerPop]

28. Thanks...you're a little cutie in your pic!

35. watashi

Never understood.. my parents were Buddhist but we always got a tree at "Kurisumasu" time..
maybe my folks liked being fashionable..

[Arugula Latte]

36. My family was completely non-religious but always got a tree.

We still get a tree, and our kids love them, even though Jesus has no part in our holiday. (Xtians stole the idea, anyway.)

Trees are pretty, and fun to decorate, and a nice tradition no matter what you believe, so what the hell. Case in point:

[Blue_In_AK]

41. Maybe they wanted you to have a holiday

like the other kids had. Christmas is, at its heart, just a celebration of winter. A Kurisumasu tree can be shared by all the religions. :)

[Aristus]

37. Me, soaking up the Texas rays, aged four or so...

Please forgive the Confederate cap...

[Blue_In_AK]

42. Looking proud and confident.

:thumbsup:

[Lex]

38. Me. In probably 1969 or thereabouts. In my daddy's work boots.

[Blue_In_AK]

43. Oh, my goodness, that is adorable.

[jmm]

40. I haven't posted this one in awhile-

My father swears he has that hat stored in a box somewhere. It use to belong to a family friend but he thought it looked cute on me so it became mine.

[Blue_In_AK]

44. That's really, really sweet.

You were a cute baby, and the hat is perfect. :)
