You knew you couldn't do it. I bet your parents felt terrible. I wish Snoopy had not been cut out of the photo. You'll have to send a special one to me.

You have seen ...Happy birthday! what a lovely post! You have seen and experienced so much of the world and you appreciated every moment. Your parents involved you all in their adventures during a time when children were not as cherished as they are now. I do wonder though, did you buy your Grandparents house to make yourself feel more rooted? I only ask because my own parents moved around a lot, and although I made lots of new friends along the way, I felt pretty rootless. I envied friends who had lived in the home they were born in. My own children get tired of having their photo's taken too, but how wonderful for you to be able to look back at all those times ( and in color too!)
