Jeannette was a pretty young teen in this picture. I think she must have been around nineteen years of age. She was happy and carefree. Loved hanging out with her friends but what I do remember is her hanging out with me too. She loved going to Jack-in-the-box and ordering the jumbo jack with curly fries and a strawberry milkshake. Then heading out to Manchester Mall or Fashion Fair. We shopped till we dropped. I don't remember her being depressed or crying over anything. She had all she needed in me. I totally supported her. When she announced to me that she wanted to go to Disneyland, I took her. We all went. Daniel, my son and Diana, my oldest. The four of us went to Los Angeles with me at the wheel. I ended up taking the wrong exit and all of a sudden I was on Whittier Blvd. The most awesome cruising in the world for young teens. I immediately wanted to make a U-turn and go back but Jeannette, Daniel and Diana yelled out to me, "No, mama, please, let's cruise." So we did. They loved it. Next morning we headed to Disneyland and then after that we went to the garmet district and I bought them their school clothes.
Those memories are so good to remember because it brings my mind back to when my Jeannette was happy and young and carefree.
How I miss my Nettle Poodle.
