Throwback Thursday: Little Me

I know, some of these photos are a bit fuzzy. What can I say? It was the ’70s. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

Baby me, ca. 1973. My sister tells me I look the same, only with more hair and teeth, lol!

My Poppi (AKA Papa Joe, Grandpa, my paternal grandfather), and my uncle (my mother’s brother). I think this was my first birthday, ca. 1974

My handsome father and I, ca. late 1973 / early 1974. I love you, Daddy!!!

Grandma (my maternal grandmother) and I, ca 1973. I miss sitting with her by the window and listening to her stories.

Born and raised in Brooklyn (do I even need to add New York?), this city girl now lives in Orange County New York, on a mountain in the midst of farms and forests. When I’m not reading and writing, I’m chasing after my four kids, dog, and cat. I enjoy cooking with my family – my husband blames his weight gain on my dinners and desserts - and passing on the cherished traditions of my Italian-American family. I love to travel and have been to Europe, Asia, and Australia. Having a special needs child, and battling breast cancer I can say that life has been quite the adventure. I try to approach every situation with a positive attitude. View all posts by jrusoloward
