It’s only fair… I ran across an awesome, and awesomely brave, blog the other day: if destroyed still true This writer posts her own diary pages, from when she was young! I didn’t think I’d be brave enough. I thought maybe I should just dig them out and burn them. But then I got to…

Patches and Dan
“That’s Patches!” I said and pointed at a black and white, 80 year old brittle photograph. “And that’s Dan!” I said pointing at another. My husband was incredulous. How did I know the names of horses in these photographs? Then when I exclaimed that I remember the day when she bought those pants read the…
Off Topic (Only Kind Of)

Images
Babu writes constantly about taking “snapshots.” but this blog has had a lack of photographs. Granted, the snapshots she talks about are eighty years old. When I started looking through old photographs and scrapbooks, I could only find books from around 57 and further. I had the genius idea last night of asking my husband…
Hair, Hanging Around, Harland, Hepburn, Horses, and Making him Happy.
Hair: Sunday, April 3rd, 1938 Fixed my hair in the page boy style and curls in front. Nat and her brother came up and Zosh and I went riding in the rumble seat. It was so cold and windy that we cuddled up under the seat on the floor. Jaime came up but I sent…
