Happy Birthday, BarbaraB!

October 11, 2013 by WendyB

Happy birthday to my gorgeous mother, BarbaraB! I thought I’d celebrate by sharing this March 1967 vacation photo of us.

What do you mean, you can’t see me? I’m there! Admittedly, I became a lot easier to spot after I was born in December of that year.  Did you know that during the first month of pregnancy, a fetus is very susceptible to the mother’s fashion choices? This is clearly how my love of animal prints developed.
