Happy Easter!!!!!!

I hope y'all are having a really wonderful Easter day!!!!! After Mass this morning, I'll just be chilling out for the day. I'll try to call out to my son's because it's not only Easter, it's my eldest grandson's seventh birthday!!!!! He's an April baby like me -- his birthday falls on Easter every few years. It can be a hassle having your birthday on a holiday as any Christmas child will tell you but least Easter doesn't come on the same day every year.


Here's a photo of little Kay at age four for my first visit to the Easter Bunny -- probably at LaSalle's or The Lion Store in downtown Toledo -- two of my mother's favorite haunts back then. Since I have on my winter coat and the hat my Aunt Marion crocheted for me, I'm guessing that we were having an ugly April in Ohio just like the past week or so. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Sighhhhhh

Best wishes to all y'all as you celebrate the holiday!!!!!! I hope you do so with the ones you love best and love you best!!!!!

Little Kay Surfaces

In my fit of nostalgia this past week, I got out the photos and found the few pictures I have. Knowing my mother as I do, all traces of me are gone from the many she had -- just she did with photos of my dad. I'm not sure if my stepmom has any old photos or not but she promised that she is collecting a lot of Dad's things for me and I think she will. Y'all can embiggen them, as Judy says by clicking on them. Here are some baby and toddler pictures

Baby Kay at about three months old. And this is as close as anyone has gotten to taking a nude photo of me -- and it was the last time I was fat!!!! LOL

Baby Kay at about 6-8 months old. I'm guessing that it was Saturday and I'd gone to go see the horses with my Grandpa cause I was wearing my overalls and locket -- a gift from him at my birth. (I wrote about this on The Elder Storytelling Place a while back.) I'm not certain who was holding me but I look pretty crabby so it wasn't my Grandpa.

Here I am at about one and a half with my favorite doll, Judy -- all my dolls were named Judy. She looks like she was very loved. (giggle)

At two and a half I was considered quite accomplished because I could ride my tricycle -- long legs helped I'm sure. The curls were natural and were a dark golden blond.

At four, I delighted in swinging on the tree swing my dad put up at my maternal grandparents' dairy farm in Wisconsin. I scared the hell outta my Grandma by going too high and jumping off a-flying!!!! And no, I didn't get hurt.

Hope y'all get a laugh or two out of seeing the little dickens I once was!!!

Happy Blogging!!!!!!!!!
