Reflection in the Mirror

                                                                       

You may have wondered what has happen to me???….or maybe not:)

I have been spending all my time staring at

myself in the mirror!!!

NOT!!!

I guess I can only blame myself for having mentioned my hair in the first place.

What was I thinking????

but now it seems that everyone wanted to know what I look like.

Eeeeeekkkkk!

Let me start by saying that I hate my picture taken.

 

and it must have started at a young age!

Apparently from the pout on my face I was having a bad day?

How much of a bad day can you have at 3? or 2 ? or whatever age I was there?

Hopefully, I got over it quickly and didn’t torture my parents too much that day.

 

Now my camera experience or should I say my modeling experience as a child

….not professional of course:)

brings back the memory of my dad having me stand in the sunniest part of the yard and

me staring into the SUN! so most of my pictures are me squinting or

with eyes closed.
Me saying" but I can't look up" and my father just
 losing patience and just quickly snapping a shot.

He tried but I just dreaded it.

Aren't we lucky now that we have a delete button???

Later on in life I realized if I wore a funny wig and and clown makeup I

 rather liked my picture taken.

No you don’t believe me?

Yeah I know the beard gave it away.

That’s me on the left and my cousin Patricia on the right.

My cousin had come for Summer vacation with my sister and niece from France.

I think we were at a River Festival……..hence the clown.

ahhh so long ago in my youth….

and when I could go places and have fun in the Summer.

Now all I do is work!

....and yes even with all this Snow I still love Winter!
I know you HATE me for saying that.

Ok there is no dragging it out!

Here is the hair!

I felt really stupid taking a picture of the top of my head.

I prayed George didn’t see me:)

How embarrassing….what would I say??? It’s what inquiring minds want to know???

…this is gripping exciting stuff I'm sharing!

I wonder if I'll get asked to share this in a magazine or something??
wink wink!

I wasn’t very good at it and took about 10 unfocused shots until I got the second one.

Looking at my part? I think there are signs of me going bald!!!!

MORE  EEeeeekkkkkkkk!

and though I have no before pictures for you the color is only a little bit different

and the cut was just improved but not drastically different.

And no I don’t look like Sienna Miller or Kristin Cavallari

with my new hairdo

but hey they’re Stars and

well..... I’m just ME!

and yes that’s part of a Christmas display in the foreground.

Just took our Christmas tree out today!!!

Those Maynard trees hold up GREAT!! haha

I put the year on this picture…..

thought to myself OK I may not love this picture now but

maybe if I’m lucky enough to reach 70+ someday I might look back

at this moment with fondness!

in the old folks home….

And boy let me add I look more and more like my Mother everyday.

So now it’s like a little visit with her every time I see myself in the mirror.

And that’s always a GOOD thing.
