Me, 40 years ago, summer of 1974.
I was 12
and had made
my red, white, and blue
halter dress, scarf, and
matching shorts underneath
the split skirt.
Seems it was my 4-H dress review
sewing project that year.
It was also the only year
I was in band,
learning to play the flute.
Smiling softly because I love that Moma
thought to capture both of these
important details about me
and where I was at that time in my life.
(In the next few years,
things would *so* change
both for me
and my family!)
I am standing to the left of
the front of our family home and
the house has since been moved.
When we go back for a visit,
it's amazing to me,
quite *stunning* at times,
to see how the farmland now looks like
a home,
and a family,
were never there.
(But we were.)
