Do you watch Fields' show "Brothers and Sisters"? I like it. :)<BR/><BR/>@Melinda- Oh, so the happy energy came from you, did it? :) I want to say thank you because I have even begun my yoga practice again!<BR/>Your memoir will be even richer with the addition of some of your old family photos. I'm glad you have them to select favorites.<BR/><BR/>@Francessa- Yeah, it's some kind of crazy hat, for sure. So strange to see it because my grandmother was not a flamboyant individual at all....but I guess she had a side to her that she didn't show often. <BR/>I'll show you the cedar chest contents someday..... :)<BR/><BR/>@Darlene- The toddler in the photo is my mother, not me! She told stories so frequently that I sometimes felt "as if" I lived her life, but I didn't experience this scene other than second hand! :)<BR/><BR/>@Lisa- I'm doing fine, thanks! I'm happy that you liked the photo and, absolutely, long live that Flying Nun.<BR/><BR/>@Naomi- I think you have such a deep feeling for others' old photos because you see them as special. Too often they are taken for granted or tossed away. If you feel a kindred spark with one in particular there must be a reason for that.....<BR/><BR/>@Buddha- I really really like hats too. They are not only classy, perky, exotic, sassy, mysterious (you name it), but they shield us from the sun. So what's not to like? .... oh, I forgot what they do to hair!Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-65947144509763451212009-03-10T22:52:00.000-07:002009-03-10T22:52:00.000-07:00I wish hats were popular again.

Recently, I have been going through my mother's old family photo albums, looking for material for my book and I have been entranced by the seriousness in which everyone took the photo shoots in the olden days. <BR/><BR/>What a memory you gave me of Sally Field as the Flying Nun! Too funny. And it reminds me (again)--Man! I'm getting old.<BR/><BR/>Hope you are doing well, Lydia--I've been sending some happy energy your way in hopes that your spirits have lifted.<BR/><BR/>MelindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-65249597359373189402009-03-10T06:33:00.000-07:002009-03-10T06:33:00.000-07:00love this!love this!secretfragileskieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04463225545455119563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-47752410693542361152009-03-10T04:51:00.000-07:002009-03-10T04:51:00.000-07:00Wow!
