My first fish and my first skates. Unfortunately, it was neither the first nor the last time my father wore those pants.

Hi. I’m Susan. I run, I garden, I drink
wine, and I try not to spend all my money on
pretty shoes. I take really bad photographs. I
work as a web designer with my sister, Amy, for
the company we started called Sumy Designs. I also have the most amazing, witty and compassionate teenage daughter any mom could ask for.My life is good.
Just don’t frack with me.

Looks like you got your fashion sense from your mom. … Who knew that cute little angler would grow up to feed freaky fowl eggs to a very hairy Donkey.
you look NO different now to how you did in that first pic. it’s hilarious!
ummmmmmm are you saying pants like that are not cool. Just asking, really I don’t have any I swear.
awwww…
Were tea-towel trousers the rage then???
MY EYES! Those pants are priceless. And those skates. Ahhhh.. the memories of a skate key hanging around my neck.
I love those pants, btw! Great fish and boy do I remember those skates!
Firstly: You totally look like you.
Secondly: I think your dad looks like Jeff Goldblum (who I, in fact, find quite attractive)!
Dad was a wild and crazy guy. I can tell.
4 things: 1) I had a halter top like that around the same time; 2) I had the same rollerskates and broke both the radius and ulna of my right arm while skating in them many many years ago; 3) Thank God your dad got rid of those pants; 4) unfortunately my mom had a similar pair and always managed to have them on during parent/teacher conferences . . . ah – memories.

Yes, that top photo! Amazing. You haven’t changed much in the last 20-odd years Susan.
I think you should use the pants pattern for your next header. Seriously.
Nobody is going to comment on Dad’s stylish eye-wear? I bet Susan has a pair of sunglasses like that in one of her two dozen purses. Like father, like daughter.
yah baybee!
you were too cute.
I always liked that 70′s look. Reminds me of my childhood. Thanks for sharing with us Susan.
Love old photos…and love the pants!
Egads! I thought that was Kenza! Amazing how much you two look alike! Beautiful little girl. Love those pants, by the way. LOL.
too cute for words!!!
Good idea this retro
Those roller skates really bring me back. I asked my boys if they wanted roller skates and they looked at me like I was from Mars…
Oh WoW! The Pants! Kenza looks just like you
I love, love, love those pants Suz!
Yeah, but those shades are cool!
Wow! Cool picture, Susan.
what’s wrong with those pants?
just for a instant, i thought the girl with the fish was kenza.
i like your fishbra. very organic. your dad would love that it’d keep boys away.
