I just turned 64, Pat. And I'm not embarrassed to tell my age. I tell myself to remember that my mom was 29 when she died unexpectedly. By the grace of God, I've have been given the opportunity to live more than twice as long as she did. That's something to be grateful for, not ashamed of.
You are so right. Also the older you get the faster time goes by. In retirement months go by as fast as weeks used to which went by as fast as a day as a child.
Yep. I don't remember it, but I've been told we had several sheep. I'm not sure why - nobody I know spun wool, and my father would no more kill and butcher a sheep than he would fly a kite in an electric storm!!!
Sue, thanks for hosting the mid-week fun. You're so right, time passes VERY quickly! Good photo share with Father's Day approaching us. Have a fototastic week!
Sweet old picture! I would love to have had more of when i was little, or when my parents were little... Time flies and pictures and memories are so important!

ReplyDeleteWell, I can't say I remember that moment - but it's sweet to see as only one of us in that photo are living today.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great candid family photograph. Cool to see your parents when they were about the age you are now!
ReplyDeleteWell, actually they're about forty years younger than I am in that shot - so there's proof positive that time flies!

We are probably the same age, Sue! It looks like you had fun on your cruise. I ahve not taken one in almost 12 years --way overdo!

what we have become"

I love looking at old photos and reminiscing, it's such a nice feeling and can bring up so many lovely memories too. - Tasha
ReplyDeleteEverything about that black and white photo speaks of simpler times. Have a blessed day.
ReplyDeleteSeems we are about the same age!
ReplyDeleteI'm 64.
DeleteHow the heck did THAT happen????
It is amazing how quickly life has traveled, isn't it? There is something about a black and white photo that cries out nostalgia doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. Also the older you get the faster time goes by. In retirement months go by as fast as weeks used to which went by as fast as a day as a child.
ReplyDeleteLife passes way too quickly, we should embrace every moment. Have a wonderful week. I am a little late linking up this week!
ReplyDeleteI keep the linkup open all week so you're never really late!
DeleteWhat a sweet old photo. Hey, are you guys petting a sheep?
ReplyDeleteYep.
DeleteI don't remember it, but I've been told we had several sheep. I'm not sure why - nobody I know spun wool, and my father would no more kill and butcher a sheep than he would fly a kite in an electric storm!!!
Sue, thanks for hosting the mid-week fun. You're so right, time passes VERY quickly! Good photo share with Father's Day approaching us. Have a fototastic week!
ReplyDeleteSweet old picture! I would love to have had more of when i was little, or when my parents were little... Time flies and pictures and memories are so important!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sue for hosting. Old photos do bring back memories of the past. You look so cute in the photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words on my last post Sue! - Tasha
