Today is Thursday, July 13, 2017 and it is the 28th day until my 60th Birthday.
Okay back to memories ….. this may take some doing.
I think I was at 1967?
1967: Having my birthday party at the lake with cousins, roasting hot dogs over a fire and a homemade birthday cake.
1968: My family packed up the station wagon and drove to McAllen, Texas where we rented a house and spent the winter.
1969: Baling hay in the summer with my sister and pulling weeds in our HUGE garden.
1970: A bright pink jersey peasant style dress, and my first dance at school. I can still hear the music in my head and see everyone lining the walls swaying to the tunes.
1971: Moved from the farm in Saskatchewan to British Columbia. Some of the saddest days of my life. Moving away from my best friend. High School…. Picked berries with my Mom & Sister for the summer.
1972: Moved to Alberta, another new High School in another province.
1973: My Grandpa died in a farming accident and I moved back to Saskatchewan to live with my Grandmother (age 16).
1974: Moved from the farm into neighbouring small town (Saskatchewan). Changing schools yet again.
1975: First summer after High School Graduation and then started first real paying job with SEARS in Regina.
1976: Major life change ….. got engaged.
1977: Another life change …. got married. Another life change – I became an Aunt for the first time…… my first born nephew…..he is the best.
Always, Carol
