I remember I dipping it in sugar before I ate it. 1975 - Me and Gary at the grandparents house. 1978 - 3rd Grade1980 - Benny Boy Benny Boy - Our coon dog... until he was let loose in the country and never came back. 1980 - Mom in the tub.1982 - My pet calf Stubby was one of the only tame calves my family had. When he wanted me to go out and play he'd stand at the fence and bawl. I spoiled him. 1983 - Cheerleader in middle school. It was an awkward age, but those are sure some nice socks. 1984 - Dad and Gary, the vet and his assistant working cattle - the second year we had them.1984 - Dan #2 was a big, gangly, rough riding palomino. 1984 - Duncan Hines Soft Batch Choc Chip Cookies & Milk.

It was fun. I remember that merry-go-round Palomino, I was thinking how I'd rather be on my real horse back home. I was kinda embarassed, but they talked me into it.1986 - I once asked a country girl who lived on a farm/ranch if she could tell whether or not I was more 'city' or 'country'. She thought I was both. 1985 - I did distance running in high school, but this was a relay. 1986/87 - My brother and I used to always screw around - fighting and name calling, all in good fun. Because of him/thanks to him, I think part of me will always be a tomboy. 1987 - The Jr's. Cousin Kenny and Gary1987 - Dad's beer request - I remember he was explaining to my Mom where his wallet was and giving her his weekend beer order. He still likes the beer.1987 - This is Jackie B Dandy, the horse I rode most growing up. I have a lotta great memories with him.1988 - Drill Team.

I think they still use them. 1992 - Sav, aka Bubba was the second dog I called my own. The first was a big St. Bernard named Willy. Sav was a Australian Shepard / German Shepard mutt. He out grew his litter and both his parent and had loads of personality. 1993 - Gary dozing..1993 - Sav the wonder dog.1993 - One of the highlights of my college career was being in a rock band called Lumber and it was a blast.
