Cis @ 70

Look at this face … What do you see … Do you see the winkles and ages spots? Or do you see me? What you don’t see, is the little girl who rode horses and had a goat for a pet, as well as cat called Skid Chain. You don’t see the girl who worked at schoolwork as well as played baseball … but a loner at the dance floor. Who would be thought of as a nerd of today’s phrases. Whose only memory from classmates, Is a smile and a pony tail. Or the mother of 8, herding her group, thru grocery stores, and laudratmats. Traveling thru the western states, following husbands and children in tow. Or the many camping trips with only sleeping bags placed by the river bank, with a campfire in the rocks/Cis, From A Simple Mind. More here.

DFO: Please join me in wishing the happiest of birthdays to Cis.

Question: What would people never guess about your formative years by looking at you today?
