Life Questions ? ? ? ? ?

Have you ever run across a picture that triggers a thousand questions and memories?

Well, I ran across this picture last week and here are some of the questions that crossed my mind.


1.  Why does my brother, Mark, look possessed/on parole?

2.  Where or where did that skinny body of mine go?

3.  Why does Mr. W. look like he is drugged and ready to be kidnapped by a cult?

4.  Who in the decorating world convinced us that 'earth tones' (a nice way of saying rust, gold and weird olive green), particularly in floral patterns, was 'IN'?

5.  Why were Mr. W. and I so proud of our Korean ripoff Polo shirts that my brother, Ray, brought back from his mission?  (The fact that they were $5 and a blend should have tipped us off.)

6.  When did we realize that ModPodging pictures of anything on fake panelling was no longer in style?  (Was it ever in style?)

7.  How did my little guy, Ryan (on Mr. W.'s lap), grow up so fast?


8.  Why didn't someone check me for anemia?


9.  Why did mom keep a brass horn hanging on the wall by the sliding glass door?  Was Little Boy Blue visiting?  (You know - Little Boy Blue come blow your horn, the sheep are in the meadow, the cows in the corn . . .)

and most importantly . . . .

10.  Why does Mark have the only piece of cake?
* An apology to Ralph Lauren for putting a teeny tiny dent in his multi-million/billion dollar fashion dynasty by purchasing Polo knockoffs.  It would appear that he has recovered nicely.

SO funny! Thanks for the laugh...And for the record, an identical couch and the attractive wood paneling behind it were beautiful features in our home as well. :-)
