Back in the Day...

My dad emailed me this picture a little while ago and it brought me back to the good ol' days when life was so much simpler and all you needed was a cooperative cat and some baby clothes to keep you happy. Sometimes I miss being a kid. When you had no concept of time and no responsibilities. Life was about afternoon cartoons, climbing trees, and biking to the park. Oh...the good ol' days for sure!


I had 2 pets growing up. Mittens the cat and Mickey the dog. They were great pets. Poor mittens had to put up with some things (like the above picture indicates). My personal favorite though was wrapping up her paws in something so that she couldn't feel the ground right and watching her try to walk. It was one of the funniest things in the world to me! (If you've never done this with a cat....I highly recommend doing it just once. You'll laugh. A lot.) She was such a great sport!

That is SUCH a cute picture! Awwww little Christine! You are so dang cute. And it reminds me of when we used to dress our cat up in doll clothes. And put her in dresser drawers and laugh when she'd climb behind and into a different drawer... how mean of us, but it was sure entertaining!!!

I love the picture and the posting! You are right, life is much simpler as a child....so why is everyone in such a rush to grow up?
