My mother had boxes and boxes of photos that I brought home when I was clearing out her house in 2020. I went through some of them but not all. These past few days I have been spending time looking through some.
So......the passage of time:
The back of this photo says I was six. My mother liked curly hair.
No age on this but I would guess maybe eight?
Again, no age. This is a little harder to guess. I would say from eleven to thirteen.
This photo I posted before to show the "don't mess with me" face I already had as a teen. I have a junior high yearbook that places me in ninth grade. I would have been fourteen at the time the photo was taken and fifteen a couple of months later.
This is my junior year in highschool. I was sixteen at the time of the photo and seventeen a couple of months later.
Looking at the expression on my face I think I understand why I never had a boyfriend during my school years. I may have scared them!

How fun to go through all of your old photos. My mother hated my curly hair and chopped it off when I was young. I don't think she knew what to do with it.
My hair was not curly but about as straight as hair can be! I got the dreaded permanent, Lori.
Fun to see old school photos!
I love your school photos!
Love the photos and you look beautiful.
What a great timeline. You look to me like a girl who had a mind of her own, a thinker. Not having a boyfriend high school sounds like a great thing to me. Seems like far too much of my time was spent worrying about that. And then got pregnant and married far too young.
I don't see anything scary about your face. You just look confident and discerning. Any guy who felt intimidated must have been a bit feeble.
Amazing to have so many pictures. I had two. Total. Now in my son's possession. But then I was the ninth child.
You looked like a person to be reckoned with!
I enjoyed seeing the photos...I also got a kick out of seeing a bit of what you are wearing, I think I had a dress just like the plaid with the PeterPan collar, and the pic with herring bone - I know I had a few skirts of herring bone wool.
