  4. Though this image should have elicited something more jolly from me, I could only feel pain.

  5. The first thought that came to me when I saw this image, is how hard it seems for her to look happy. A really posed shot, but, just my opinion.

    Happy New Year, all!

    Happy New Year to everyone and my most gracious thanks for allowing me to be a part of your Magpie writing world!

  21. The kind of stuff that happened to Marilyn when she was a kid was not uncommon then, nor is it uncommon now.

  22. Just though.....

    Reading all the raw (and beautiful!) posts today I wonder how the posts would have gone if that were an unknown woman....?

    Words influenced.

  23. Happy New Year everyone. I have opted to highlight how important family life away from the fanfare is.

    Such a treasure.

    A tribute of sorts to Norma Jean.
