How Time Flys -A Short Story

You young people think us oldies were never your age dont you? No respect your elders (sigh)... now back in my day.... now where was I? Oh yes Well let me tell you something .....

I used to be a a bit of an alright  back then and was well chased after by many a beau! Yes indeedy I was.

  You dont believe me?? Well then dearie come let me share some photos from my album with you.

This was me just before himself proposed

 See I scrubbed up ok in those days.

Himself did love to play with his Brownie camera back in those days he even got the newest colour fil-em that was on the market.

Of couse I said yes when Himself  proposed to me and on my wedding day I wore this lovely home made,with lots of love,dress

 Wasnt It just swish?

 Himself always made me laugh

I felt ever so lovely

 But I wanted to wear red gloves and shoes

                                       What was that dearie? Why was this pic cut in half? 
                            Well  deary this is cut in 2 as I flashed my scanties and that was   something a proper lady never did.
Mother forbade those red shoes but  I wore them anyway. Such a rebel was I! My poor mother what I put her thru!

I didnt know what pearls to wear so I wore them all.They were Mothers of course

Now a few years went by and time does fly dearies yes indeedy! But it only seems like yesterday yes it does.
Here I am  as mother of the bride.The cape and the pearls? Oh himself gave them to me as a 20th Anniversary present.

I had cut my hair into a bob at this stage as it was all the rage.Its a shame you cant see my lovely silver dancing shoes.I was quite the dancer you know.

and thats all for today dearies I may come back and share with you again if your very good.I do hope you enjoyed my youthful pictures.So now just remember time flys  so enjoy every moment dearies.

Now be off with you,young wipper snappers I have knitting to do.
