Because I'm tired

Today was full of fun things to write about, but I'm just too tired so I bring you a picture show that a comment from my cousin prompted me to post. . . .

25 years ago when my hometown turned 100, my sister and I were in the small hometown parade, dressed as little pioneer girls, pushing our baby buggies down the street.

Check out our totally period appropriate buggies!


I wish this picture showed a bit more of our faces, because this is a picture from our 125 year parade celebration in my hometown.


Mimi pulled our skirts out of the cedar chest so that everyone could stop us for the next 2 months to mention how they remembered Stacey and I doing the same thing.


Of course since Stacey was the chaperone for my girls, she had to deal with being called Katie all weekend, but so goes the life of a twin.

And for comparison's sake, here's a photo of me from back in the day. . .

Maybe tomorrow I'll have enough energy to post about scolding a woman today for stealing my parking spot.

You actually DID it? I only dream about scolding for stolen parking spots. cool.
I love it that your girls are following in your footsteps. What a heritage. Do you still live in the same town? Or did you travel back there?

Missy, my hometown is about 2 hours away, so I go back to visit my parents on the farm often.

Love the pics. The girls were so adorable. I'll have to see if we can get a TV video for you.
