Again, another Capri-Kel addition. She is such an inspiration! Speaking of inspiration, my Mom said I am inspiring her to cook. Well, to be honest, it all began with her many years ago.
The first picture is my Mom with my brother and me. That was taken in Atlanta when I was 6. We lived there for 4 years. I had to include that so you could see a picture of my Mom!!
She made the most awesome castle birthday cake. I think her specialty is baked goods. I also remember the chocolate sheet cake she used to make when I was a teenager. And when she POURED the chocolate icing on the cake it just leaked right off the side of the pan and I had the privelege of cleaning it up. Always had that most awesome privelege!! Anyway, the second picture is from my 9th birthday. Bet you hadn't guessed that! That's my Dad and my brother. We lived in Philadelphia at the time and see that wallpaper? it was so awesome. I love textures and that wallpaper had fruit on it that had a velvet feel to part of it. I also hate textures at the same time. But that's just another of those things about me. Hey, this was 1976. That was an awesome year to live in Philadelphia! I believe it was a huge celebration year for the Bicentennial! For those of you more versed in history, feel free to correct me.
Capri Kel would be proud to know that I was a huge fan of Laura Ingalls as well. See my hair? It was from those pioneer days.

I just counted 4 awesomes...Oh well. :)
I love way back When-sday. The wallpaper looks familiar. I think ours was green-flocked. Loverly. And yes, I see a resemblance to Laura Ingalls. Cute blog.
I know just the kind of wallpaper you speak of! I would have had to lick it!!!
I also remember everything in 1976 being red white and blue in honor of the bicentennial. Including our middle school yearbook cover. A departure from its usual green and white.
Another Laura fan!
I think you really resemble your mother in her picture! I don't think I have ever really noticed that in person.
