Celebrating 80 years

So when I was little we lived on Rhonda Court.  Our next door neighbor took care of me and another little girl on the street.  That was oh about 38 years ago.  This weekend we celebrated that special ladys 80th birthday.  Mamma Ozzie took care of me and Kitten (the other little girl on the street) from birth until about 4 years old.  She has been in our lives ever since. 


 Here we are (L to R) Howard, Mamma Ozzie, Uncle Jr., Kitten, Me

 Pa and Lee Hacker (Kitten's Daddy)  Mom has pictures of My Dad and Lee dancing around in hula skirts and coconut bras back in the day on Rhonda Crt. 
 Kitten, Mamma Ozzie and Me
 Old neighborhood friends. 

 This is my "reserved" son! NOT!
 Howard (I always called him Hoppy) and Archer









 Kitten and her family, Husband Michael and little girl Darby. (I'm kicking myself for not taking another picture, but I didn't realize this one was so blurred)
Kitten and Me.  She was my very first friend.  We didn't keep up with each other, but Mamma Ozzie kept up with each of us. Mamma Ozzie always updated the other on how we were doing.  So it didn't feel like 32 year since we had seen each other.
