This is a wonderful collection Andrea, thanks for the smiles. Loved the big glasses, I had similar ones back in the 80s, too funny! Love the painting your friend painted, she's talented. Have a great week, take care, hugs, Valerie

This is such a great post. I love all the hats and seeing all the photos. Isn't it fun to try on hats in a shop? I don't know what it is about hats-they can make you somebody different just putting one on. And your granddaughters are adorable. It's nice to see your family.I remember being young and having many more hats than I do now. Now they are mostly just winter hats. And your drawings are great too. I hope you are having a lovely week so far. hugs-Erika

What an amazing array of hats, Andrea. I love the drawings you created, your beautiful DIL, the darling granddaughters, and YOU in big glasses. Am I the only person guessing? The girls with the hats and batons? I believe the girl in the middle is you. There are three on either side of you. At least I hope I'm right. Yo have given us a huge amount of hats to ohh and ahh over!

Such a great collection, Andrea. You have such talent. It will not surprise you that my favourite picture is of you with the Barred Owl, and close on its heels is the photograph of you at the Horseshoe Falls, about an hour and a half from where I live. Great job assembling all these pictures. Hugs - David

Dear Andrea, it's always a pleasure to read your comments each week. And nice to see you here, too.

A translator? I wished I could give it to my Blog. I'm looking for a solution, hope to be successful.

We, the husband and myself are great, great fans of comics. Your drawings are fantastisc. Thank you for sharing.

Have a very good time.
Hugs by Heidrun

What a wonderful collection of hats, Andrea! I especially love all the wonderful hatted family members. Have a Happy Mother's Day!

Love the self-portrai, but am so glad the mask-days are over. For people wearing glasses especially winter was awful!
Love the girl with the hat, too! And the "hair-hat", very funny!!!
And the pic of you - to nurses and yes, I have such a pair of glasses right here, from Dior! I found it in the cellar after my parents had passed - Dad was also an optometrist, this pair was not sold (we live(d) in a small town and my Brother let me have them - so cool.
Sadly plastic so my Brother (also optometrist) cannot make them work, the plastic would break.
You are a hat-family! :-)
People stop me when I wear my winter hat and say I make them smile, if you like see here.

This was great Andrea!!! I love every single photo and piece of art, especially the ones of you and your friend in the hats!! I love your witch. The Sorcerer's Apprentice is my favourite part of Fantasia! The family photos are so lovely! And the photo of you with your nurse hat, loved it!!! Thanks so much for sharing! ♥

Andrea, I read every word written on every blog I visit. So it was only natural I would try to guess which one was you. BTW, I AM NOT NOW, nor will I ever be a MOTHER, even to the cats. I am their support staff, feeder, and poop remover, but never a mother. thanks anyway.

I am normally a touch typist. I learned when I got my first keyboard. Typing with one hand is SO time consuming, I use a lot of cap locks these days.
