Memory of lost friend prompts hunt for high school yearbook

Did you lose your high school yearbook and long to have it back? Seems to be the type of problem that wouldn’t easily be solved considering it’s not exactly the type of book that would be reprinted numerous times.

Ahhh, but there’s still a possibility you can get your hands on another one. Even if you can’t gain possession of another copy of the long lost yearbook, you may still be able to access one and acquire copies of pictures and other memories within it most treasured to you.

Dear Abby had quite a few responses to a request for information on how to acquire another copy of a yearbook. She shares her readers’ responses and suggestions for locating another copy in her column for December 6, 2007.

Wishing you the best of luck finding yours!

Couldn’t help it! Had to pull ‘em out, put ‘em on, and dance after viewing a video of Elton John singing one of his fun, upbeat, rock-n-roll 70’s Christmas songs over on the Wordfeeder’s blog.

What an uplifting Christmas memory! Thanks, Dina, for sharing that ole time 70’s Christmas cheer!

Say what?! No, I’m not talkin’ ’bout cereal! But, if you REALLY wanna understand, you ABSOLUTELY MUST go visit the blog of the Pop Art Diva! Hope sent me over there today to check out the bell bottoms on the Pop Art Diva’s blog.

When her blog loaded up on my screen I felt as though I’d entered a time machine and had been taken back to the time and place of blacklights and neon colors shining brightly inside a room that had been painted black! Remember those?! I do!

Fascinating how seeing something like that can bring back a flood of memories. Imagine the scent of incense burning…the music in the background…imagine…you tell me….

Bell bottoms? Hmmm…still have any of yours collecting dust in YOUR closet? Me neither, but, oh, the memories of ‘em! I had bright canary yellow ones, lime green ones, and, get this, a pair that were patterned after the American flag! They were red and white striped from the hips to just below the knee where the navy blue background with white stars took over the BELL. I can’t BELIEVE I wore ANY of those in PUBLIC!

Oh, and then, of course, there were the Levis that I had inverted the outer seams along the legs and re-sewn (does that make sense?) and ripped out the hems to make ‘em have fringe down the sides and on the belled bottoms. My Mama was ready to gimme a lickin’ for THAT one…LOL! Told me that if my denim jacket sprouted fringe, I wouldn’t live to wear it.

Git on over there and check it out! You’re gonna love this gal and her pop art, I’m tellin’ ya!
