I hope that my sons will think of me that way. Well, not to disappoint :), I love my jeans and sneakers and miss my bubble hair, but ... LOL ... I still go to the "beauty parlor - I still call it that although it's the "salon" now - and get my hair and nails (with sparkles) done!!!

LOL ... I think I like being a "star" too! Although my husband and I are no longer together, we have remained good friends. I think that you always tenderly remember your very first love and that the feelings are always sweetly a part of your heart.I do enjoy my blessings ... my three amazing sons and my adorable grandchildren ... the triplets - Julia, Luke and William - and, the icing on the cake, their little brother Matthew! I live on the East End of Long Island in a marvelous place filled with the wildlife I love. If you would like to see my garden and my "wild-friends" here's the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariasducktales/ The garden and wildlife collections are on the bottom left. I am following in Michael's footsteps but have not yet put most of my pictures on.

AMAZING! This post would have been amazing simply with the find and the write up you did Lisa. Having the one and only star of these photos, Maria Daddino, find it and then actually comment and further explain to the specific comments has got to be a blogger's dream come true! I am SO HAPPY Michael had this idea in the first place. Then to make it available to the world is priceless. Thank you Daddino Family! Then to have the actual star, Maria, still in good health and working on her own book is AMAZING! I do have one question though. Is your husband still in good health and are you still enjoying your lives with all the blessings you have been given? I do hope so! AMAZING! p.s. I hope I am not too late at being part of this discussion.....Oh, those weekends!Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02352425223803741970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-77518509095214280262013-01-13T15:33:27.486-06:002013-01-13T15:33:27.486-06:00Thank you for "gorgeous" ...

It was so amazing for me to read your blog and then read all of the wonderful comments. When Michael first approached me about doing this, I really had no idea how many people would enjoy our old pictures. I've made several wonderful friends - who followed Michael's project on Flickr - and then when I commented went out of their way to find me on Flickr so that they could see what I was up to now :) Again, thank you so much, sweetheart, for your beautiful words :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00804694047413333197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-70446710434034200362013-01-12T15:40:53.057-06:002013-01-12T15:40:53.057-06:00This is so amazing!!!

It was a very different and special time back then and I had such fun reminiscing about it with my son Michael. As I'm sure that you can tell, he has spent a lot of time on this project and it's still not complete. He has also "encouraged" me to put my pictures on Flickr and to do the same thing with my wildlife photos. So there are stories to go with most of my pictures - not quite like Michael's though. Along the way, I have met some pretty wonderful people ... all of you included :) Again, thank you for all of your lovely comments. It made this grandma smile a great big smile!!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00804694047413333197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-84515653695975448972013-01-12T12:35:15.835-06:002013-01-12T12:35:15.835-06:00I LOVE the conversation style of the commentary --...I LOVE the conversation style of the commentary -- letting people use their own words instead of paraphrasing.
