Can I get an awww for baby River?

As promised… I went looking for an old photo of myself sitting on the floor of my childhood home playing with a battery operated Apollo 11 capsule. I was five years old and the country was space crazy.

I wish I had that old toy now, it’s worth a fortune.

I also wish I had the picture, but apparently it disappeared… along with my youth.

But while combing through files and old photo albums? I did find the following which I thought I’d share.

Little River with her dad.

And a beagle named Hiram.

When I was growing up all our pets had names beginning with H’s, I have no idea why… but at one time our house had a Herman, a Henry, a Herbert, a Horace and a Hector.

Me, sporting some sexy red shoes.

Taking Hiram for a walk in a sailor coat and another pair of red shoes.

Rocking a pair of purple striped bell bottoms. How groovy is that?

I have a vague recollection of not wanting to have my picture taken here and only agreed to pose if I could have my alligator sitting next to me.

I was an odd little girl who hated dolls but loved dinosaurs. And apparently, reptiles.

How odd you ask?

That’s me in my nightgown, ready for bed… but prominently displaying a weird bug my father had just found in the garden.

Ah, youth.

🤣

  13. I love looking at old photos like that. By the way, I had a similar pair of red Mary Janes. I loved those shoes, I wore them completely out. Well, that’s what my mom tells me. I was a very girly tomboy, I loved my dolls but I also played with my brothers cars, dump trucks, buried several of my dolls in the back yard of my childhood home. My parents were perplexed to say the least, lol. Little River looks like she had an adventurous childhood.

    1. I hated dresses as a young girl and far preferred Hot Wheels to Barbies. My parents didn’t mind that my favorite place on earth was the Museum of Natural History so I could see real dinosaurs, but mom still made me wear dresses to church. 🥴
