Hooked On Faces -- Sweet and Scary!

I have been banned from using my husband's computer . . . never mind why.

Let's just gloss over Howard's having to get new security clearances and safe passwords, shall we?

I have not heard from the Mothership about when my own prodigal desktop will return to the fold, so I have hijacked my daughter Anne's laptop, while she is busy in the kitchen making me a birthday cake.

************************************************

I am joining Julia's Hooked On Friday Blog Party, at her marvelous Hooked On Houses website. Just go here to find all the lovely stories about what other bloggers are hooked on!

Today I am hooked on The Many Faces of Anne.
Now -- don't be scared! It's only make-believe. . . .

Among the things Anne learned in college was how to transform this:

into this:

Slightly middle-aged.

And then, more middle-aged.

I hope I wasn't the inspiration for this!

Then there was this interesting metamorphosis:

and this:

Meow....

And then came this, which she sent to me one day with the caption

"Look what I did!" and I nearly fainted:

She did a pirate, too, but only wants me to show the scar:

She also learned how to do hair for the stage:

Also how to build sets, design and build costumes, run a wardrobe department -- and all of this paid off.

Two days ago, Anne was offered a Teaching Assistantship,
leading to an MFA in Costume Design.

So come September, Howard and I -- and That Old House -- will be empty-nesters again.
Tomorrow we head out to help Anne apartment-hunt.

Good luck, Miss Anne Lillian.
We are very proud of our almost-birthday girl (next Wednesday).
