TY to my readers!

A little girl in a white communion dress for #NationalChildsDay
I was seven when I put on this lacy white dress for my First Communion and oblivious to the ways of the world. All I knew was I had a loving mom and dad, a doting Irish grandmother who made the best mashed potato pancakes, another grandmother who wore pearls and furs and danced in places where I wasn't allowed, and soft pretezels every day at St Vincent's during recess.

Oh, the stuff you find in the back of your closet when you're looking for old film to use for videos. Yes, it's me eating a hot dog at a Philly circus wearing white gloves! I was six. Can you believe? And that hat to match my coat. Amazing fashion coordination I had for that age. (Truth be told, it was my mom's doing--she was a model and knew her way around a fancy chapeau.)
