Double Toe Rock Step

If you are a clogger (maybe a tapper?) the title will make perfect sense; if not, you will be wondering what I am talking about.

My Oldest Friend, Alicia, emailed me this photo today. It made me laugh. Oh, and by Oldest Friend, I don't mean that she's like 101, I mean that she is the person that I have known the longest. We were neighbors when we lived in Douglasville, and became friends when I was 5.

What is odd to me about this photo is that I recognize me (do you? It probably isn't too hard!) and my friend Alicia, and one other friend of mine, Lisa. So out of 10 girls, I can pick out three. All the other girls, I have no idea who they are. Which is weird for me to think that I clogged with these girls for many years - why would I not remember them? I can't even come up with a name, and some of them don't even look vaguely familiar.

But nevertheless, here we are. The Cloggers of hmmm I'm guessing 1983? Maybe 1982, it's hard to say.

Does it make you want to clog? You know you want to.

I picked you out right away! Too funny! I love your neighbor girls name :)) We've yet to run into another Paige, my Paige's age, which has surprised me so far! I didn't think it was that uncommon when we named her that!? So, will Ansley start this fall 'officially' with school and the accompanying work? Is TN's cutoff date later than the typical Sept. 1st for those turning 5?? I was a bit confused how she was starting, if she is, being that she won't turn 5 till after the 1st? Maybe it's different if you're homeschooling? Either way- I'm with you- can't believe she's turning 5, which always means that after she does, then not too far away it's Paige's turn! Yikes!! How did that happen??!

Too Cute. By the way, can you set up your 360 project to show the latest picture first?

I forgot to tell you -- the date on the back of the picture says May 1986 (thanks to my mom!) -- is that right? Must've been right before you moved? Funny, I have no idea who Lisa is, but I recognize Amy from church (between us). And thanks for clarifying about me not being that old. :)

MEGAN RESPONDS: Wow, I would have never guessed 1986! But if your Mom wrote it there, then I would assume it's accurate! :) I can't believe I'm 11 in that photo,then - I really thought I looked about 7 or 8!

I LOVE THIS! Man, the costumes back then were so horrible. My mom has pictures of me in my costumes throughout the house. It's pitiful.

MEGAN RESPONDS: What? Horrible costumes? Are you sure we're looking at the same photo? ;)

I think I see a little bit of ansley in you!

I picked you out right away b/c it looks like Ansley could be in that photo! Wow!!! And, love the title. I was a tapper myself for 6 years. Fun times. ;)
