30 Days of Blogging, Day 12: An old photo and a story

Some of you may have already seen his photo (if you're my Facebook friend.)  This was taken while my family still lived in a rental house in Boise, so I can't be more than five years old--we moved into the house where my parents still live just after my 5th birthday.

I really think I remember having this picture taken, because I remember striking that pose very purposefully.  I felt quite sassy in my cowgirl garb, and I wanted to let that be known--and, apparently, that was okay, or at least for as long as it took to capture this picture.

I'm not sure what I thought the poodle purse added to this ensemble.  (The knee socks and saddle shoes were, no doubt, my mom's contribution.)
