Memories....hummmm...there's SO many. I thought of this old black and white snap shot taken by my sister back in 1961 when we lived on a farm in Cedar Springs, Texas. I think that was the happiest place I'd ever lived...Mom and Dad went all out to make it the best experience ever for us kids. We lived there for two years before the weird neighbor done lost his mind, thought my older sister (15) was the virginal, Mother Mary, and he wanted to take her as wife! WELL DOGGIES!!!Hahaaaa....We were packed up and sold out faster than you could say, Bob's your Uncle! I think that's what happens when two grown men (in their mid 30's) still live with their Momma...Oh, did I say the OTHER brother thought I might eventually make a great bride as well???Hahahaaaa....I was ten at the time! I KNOW they needed farm hands but....Hahaaaa...Anyway! I got to thinking about the colors of the old car behind me and my cats, Thomas and Sassafras. So, I colored them to match my "memory".
This challenge was a fun one Miz Brenda...To see more, go Here! Happy Weekend!

Nice memories, well except for the weird neighbors! Nice pic, too. I'm not sure the cats are too happy about it, though!
You were a cutie! :)
Well, you still are! :)
What a cutie and I love your kitties. These are wonderful memories...except for the weird neighbors. Although, I guess it's ok to look back and laugh at them now. :)
