Memories and Old Photos Revisited
by Elouise
before my eyes
they swim
in salt water
old photos
fresh with memories
I blink
reluctant to move
my eyes
tears water
my face
***
Christmas stockings in Altadena
Peanut butter sandwiches and milk on the lawn
Picking cherries in California
Thinking deep thoughts with Rosey Grier
Not sure what to do with all this snow above Altadena!
Shopping with Mom – Note boa (?) on daughter’s arm
Posing with Mom and Dad on a hot day in Arizona
Those were the days!
Beauty and memories captured on camera
Reminders of what endures from generation to generation
Have a happy weekend!
And don’t forget to take a few photos.

You’re welcome, Dan! I still tear up. And can’t believe how quickly time flies. I hope you’re all doing as well as can be expected, including your parishioners.

Oh yes! I can’t believe how weepy I get looking at old photos of our children. Now in their 50s…. 🙂

Thank you, Fran! Our son, his wife, and two adult daughters all have birthdays this week. So I was doing a little look-back to the way things were in the 1970s. Why do they grow up so quickly???? Let me know when you find out! 🙂 Xxx
