In Silhouette 1971

In 1971,

I was in love with Donny Osmond.

I loved pickle and cheese sandwiches.

I liked to ride my bike to the 7-Eleven and buy a Pink Thing and a Reece's Peanut Butter Cup.

I was taller than anyone in my class.

I loved reading my Trixie Belden Mysteries.

I was wildly infatuated with Lee Majors as Heath Barkley, on The Big Valley.

I watched it every day after school.

I wrote him a letter and was sent an autographed photo.

My infatuation continued thru the Six Million Dollar Man and The Fall Guy.
All that good guy saves the day thing, I guess.

I secretly liked Nick Barkley, too.

All that bad temper and black leather.

I knew I wanted a grand house like the Barkley's.
I wanted to be Audra and sweep down the staircase in my fine 40 lb. dress.
I have since changed my tune about adding 40 pounds anywhere.
  
My mother had this made in 1971, including two more of my younger brothers.
They have been passed to me and I'm going to update them with new velvet trim.
I don't care for the red velvet and gold frame.
I'm thinking mocha velvet and cream frame.
Not so much Barkley...but definitely more me.
