The Making of Me!

Mom would make Tomato Soup and Grilled cheese sandwiches all of the time. That was one of our favorite meals as a child, that and peanut butter and banana sandwiches.I loved the retro flowers growing up! I even had a groovy dress that had flowers all over it that my mom made for me when I had an awards banquet to go to in 8th grade.Penny Candy.....We could buy three pieces of candy for a penny. On our way home from school we would collect pop bottles and then turn them in for money. That's how we got our candy and Nehi grape and orange soda pop to drink as well.

I could dance just as good as any one else and was not afraid to shake my groove thang!!
This is my life so far. We'll get to the 80's and 90's later on. Can we say Punk Rock and Totally Rad, S W I N G...........
