Self Portrait of an old girl.


Self portraits.....feel silly doing them.
But you know what....I think it's a good thing to have.
With all the documenting I do of my family.....
I know they will enjoy seeing me as much as they do themselves.

Had a birthday recently.....wondering how on earth I got here.
Pretty sure I'll be wondering the same thing when I'm 80 ;)

When I started this blog I did 100 things about me.......today I think I'll do 39 ;)
