Friday Face Off ...



 Friday Face Off

I am still wondering around in old pictures.  This is me and one of my best friends in, I am guessing, around 3rd Grade :)  We lived in the same neighborhood, and went to the same grade school.  My family moved, so we went to different Junior High and High Schools, then back together again in college.  Sadly she passed away years ago, but I am still in touch with her younger brother (who was the bane of our existence when we were neighbors, Ha!).  Amazing how things change over time.  
So hoping you are all thinking positively about 2026.  Many things will need to change in the USA if 2026 is going to be a good year ... fingers crossed!

First off I love your Andrea meme. Wayyyy too cute. The photo of your and your friend and the memories is precious. Yes, only thinking positive for 2026. Thank you for joining FFO and have a very nice weekend.

You both look displeased about something. Perhaps you didn't want your pictures taken? Sorry about the loss of your friend.

Old photos are the best.

That start to 2026 does not look good, Andrea. Trump and his policies (and actions) get more demented by the day.

That's a great old photo and an even better story. Like you, I'm hoping what are supposed to be the government's controls get their acts together and help put some chains around the dummy in the White House too. He's totally demented.

I love looking through my old photographs and reminiscing too. It's such a joy. Your digital drawing for FFO is very charming. I'm praying for changes in the USA too. God have mercy on us.

You two have wonderful faces. I'm so sorry she has passed. It's hard seeing our friends and peer group pass. But so very glad that you could connect in later years. I worry every day about what is happening in our country or world. I hope 2026 brings us some good news. Any good news. It's not exactly starting out well.
