Rumors by FLEETWOOD MAC was first released in Febrary 1977. Where were you then? I was 9 years old and in the 4th grade. How ironic, as that is exactly where Ethan is. Here is a photo of me with my Dad when I was in 4th grade. So this is where I was when this album was released. Sure, the songs were on the radio, sure I knew them all. But it wasn't until 3 or 4 years later that I went out and purchsed the album myself and really fell in love with the song, Dreams.

What a great time in life though. The only stress we had was getting homework done (which at the time seemed huge!) and whether or not Mom was going to let my best friend sleep over on Friday. Life was full of joy. I was making plans to get my ears pierced on my upcoming 10th birthday and reading books like Ramona the Brave. Billy was 5 and not yet in school, Tommy was 18 months old and the darn cutest thing. Dad was working at the steam station and Mom baked while we were off to school. Check out those plaid uniform pants and the cross necklace!

So here is another one of those freaky math things. My Dad, in this photo, is where I am NOW in my life. He was 39 years old with a daughter in 4th grade. I am 39 years old with a son in 4th grade. Hm. Never thought about that.

So now I am thinking that I either need to:
1. Fix my turn table so that I can listen to this album once again
2. Buy it on CD

I better do it THIS YEAR and get a photo of me with Ethan in front of a door like this to put in a time capsule!
