  1. What a beautiful high school picture! Mine is from three years earlier. We HAD to have them taken in our uniforms in black and white. I love yours.

    1. Kathy, you must have gone to private school to have had to wear uniforms. This is the one photo I have that really shows the true color of my hair, which I hated. I bleached it back to the color I was born with right out of high school which was a white blonde (a tow head). But, my mom got aggravated with seeing my roots and insisted I "put it back". When I tried to do that, I guess it picked up red highlights and everyone started saying I had red hair. I looked and looked but it didn't appear red to me. Finally, I decided to really make it red and have been red ever since. I am often shocked at the amount of gray roots I have now, LOL! Everyone says I have the right coloring and look like a natural redhead. Maybe that's because my great grandmother was a redhead.

  3. Lisa, it's a beautiful photograph, and you were very beautiful -- but I think you're even lovelier now. Your smile is more vibrant. And yes, the red hair suits your complexion.
