Another flash from the past

This is a photo of my Kindergarten class. Can you find me? :-) I have fond memories of that school year and of the teacher. I loved learning all the things Kindergarten had to offer. I always loved school.

From Everything I Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, by Robert Fulghum:

"All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sand pile at school. * * * Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics and equality and sane living.

"Take any one of those items and extrapolate it into sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your family life or your work or government or your world and it holds true and clear and firm. Think what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap. Or if all governments had as a basic policy to always put things back where they found them and to clean up their own mess.

"And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out in the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together."

Did you find me? I'm right next to the teacher. Left to right. Back (4th) row: Mrs. W., yours truly, Kelly, Elaine, Tom, Roy, Kelvin, Tammy and Brad. 3rd row: John, Penny, Michael, Elaine, Kathy, Richard (his sister Becky was in the class, too, but she must have been sick that day), and ?. 2nd row: Cindy, Craig, and Candice. Front row: Alan, John, Morgan, Kathy, Ralph and Rory.

Such cute pumpkins

At the middle school, there were such cute pumpkins on display that I had to take pictures of them! I thought the pumpkins were real, which is why I wanted to photograph them right away, while they were still fresh, until I picked them up to move them! Cute, cute!

Picture from a few years ago

Here's a picture from a few years ago of my sister, my brother and me. I do not think we have changed much, have we? Isn't time strange that forty-three years ago can seem like only yesterday? Or at least the day before yesterday?
