Another Year Older


Today is my birthday


It's been a long journey from this, with my cousin, Marie...
1950s


to this, with my frizzy hair and my supermodel dog, Fallon....
1979
 

to this, with my stallion, Solo, and his lovely rider, Jaimie
2000s 


to now
2024

We don't know how many trips around the sun we will make. I'm pleased I have made this many and hope for a few more.
