Way Back When-sday

hmmmm... I wasn't quite sure what picture would be a good one for this weeks way back When-sday.
After much thought, I thought I would dig out this old pic of my sister and Coltie. Many people don't realize that my parents use to have horses, and actually use to ride. Most people think Annie gets her love of horses from her Dad's side... but I really think it runs very deep in her blood from both sides!

I sure wish my dad hadn't taken down all his fences... I wish Annie could have a horse at my parents house now! Maybe someday!

Skip on over to Twinfatuation to play along and check out others who are playing along!

Way back When-sday

For this very special way back When-sday, I have selected a picture that I think really captures what a great Dad my dad is!

This was my sister's graduation from high school...


If you didn't know my family, you would think this is a picture of me and my siblings with my dad.

Well, you would be about 1/2 correct.

My sister is Penny (the one in the grad gown). My brother is Mike (the only other boy in the pic besides my dad). They are from my dad's first marriage. Their mom's name is Ellen. My mom is Sue (not pictured). I am the one with dark hair.

Are you wondering who the little blonde girl is standing next to me with the big smile?

Well, that is Lynne. She is my brother and sister's other sister. confused? Her mom is Ellen... but her dad is Allen (not my dad... who is Gordon).

Can you imagine how much fun I have with this... my brother and sister have a sister that is not my sister.... LOL

Anyway, Lynne wanted to be in the picture with all of us. Which, is fine. My family was always very accepting and rolled with the punches. They wouldn't have ever singled Lynne out and told her she couldn't be in the pictures. I think that is what makes my dad a great dad... he was very accepting. There were times when Penny was babysitting Lynne that she would come and we got to play together. I always enjoyed having someone else to play with and we are only a few months apart in age!

Now go on over to Twinfatuation for others who are playing along in Way back When-sday and play along as well!
