I’m having a moment y’all. Please bear with me. I was looking through a folder tonight and found this pic. It’s of my aunt, Lucille. She was my dad’s sister. Aunt (pronounced “ain’t”) Lucille passed when I was 7 from cancer. I remember her looking like this (this pic was taken in the 60s, I think), but with a dark red bouffant. And lime green or royal blue polyester suits.
She.
Was.
Bad.
My dad would always tell me about how she just “luuuuuved her some Rashunda.” As a matter of fact, he told me that I was almost named “Lucille.”
Think about it.
Me.
“Lucy.”
Heh.
Look at that pose. Look at that smile. Look at that body. Look at those eyes.
You know something? When I look at this picture, I think “Wow. I have those genes.”
Maybe I ain’t too shabby after all.:-)

I can see you in her. I don’t know about the “Lucy” though, you are definitely a “Rashunda”

Don’t we all luuuv us some Rashunda? :)
Wow! You look just like her. It’s like seeing you (with your short hair from back in the day) posing in a cute little 50’s dress. (Is my decade-guessing correct?) She is amazingly striking. So are you.
Rash-
You are simply too sweet.
True. True. Definitely not enough spunk/funk over there in swiss-ville.
Thanks for the candle-light. It’s looking like I might be there just in time for first of August celebrations (tongue in cheek)
