Fred's Challenge (inspired by Time Goes By):
Find ten photographs of you at different ages, up to the present. Make a Time Travel Montage and post it or a link to it on your weblog . . . a great way to show the persistence of that youth we were born with, even in 50 and 60 and 70 year old containers.
Related, and fun: The Age Project and The Ageless Project.
Happy Birthday!

Bon anniversaire, as some of us say in these parts.
And, wonderful photos, wonderful idea. Your smile gets bigger with every year.

Happy BD, I beat you to 56 by a month! S'not so bad-- so far.
I have my mom sending pix from the early years--so I can rise to my own challenge. May take me a bit. You got right on the ball, you did! Congrats and do something highly caloric or mildly nutty today. Tell us about it!-- Fred

Happiest of Birthdays! You have a terrific smile.
As for the meme, in my own way, I kinda already did that. ;-)

Looking good, Sharon! Your beauty and inner smile is evident in each of the pictures -- except maybe #5!
:-)
Best wishes - happy birthday!

Thank you all for your good wishes --
& Dave, what a good eye you have -- #5, of course, was at the age I was trying to look beautiful & sultry, & all that makeup . . . it was a brief abberation.
