They are so tiny that I can catch up easily! I am to the point where I need to have a cataract fixed so I can see better in my left eye. Every thing is fuzzier than it was last year. Not looking forward to that!

BTW, I still picture myself as looking like I did about the time I got married. I sure wish my weight was closer to that.

I'm with you on the photos of self. I don't think I look like anyone in my family, but I think I must. Years ago I went to one of the skyscraper bank buildings in downtown LA to have lunch w/my sister who worked there. As I was walking thru', one of the employees said "oh, you must be Judy's sister" - and I never met her before!<br />I've been working on transcribing most of the week. Stayed up until 5am Tues. morning working on it, went to bed, up just before 9am & worked on it until at least 10:30pm when I finally finished it.

Even my DIL who is young and gorgeous and models hates her photos and is super critical of her looks. Why do we do this to ourselves? I just try to remember that I look far better than I will 10 years from now so who cares.

Rarely do I get a good photo, but it has happened on occasion especially when it's a grandson taking the picture, they do a good job. Love you stitcheries, need to get back to mine. Got bored with the one I'm working on and it's the last of the series so I could put the whole thing together.

I'll take DD with me because I'm too blind to see without my glasses. ;-)<br /><br />If I had a dollar for every night I couldn't sleep for whatever reason (usually no apparent reason - part of the dratted aging process, I fear), I could buy a house on the beach. ;-)<br /><br />I love your snowlady piece ...
