I took this photo of myself. Good thing i got long arms!! Haha. This is the most recent picture of me that I have. I took it 2 days ago. The old man was saying that i don't look like i did 6 years ago. So this is me now, no make-up. Keepin' it real!!
A great shot and a wonderful memory !!Found this today, & thought i'd share it with u. See the beautiful laughing lady in the yellow&black Dinawo shirt? That's Rebecca Miller, a country singer with stunning vocals. Always a pleasure to listen to her sing.
