This is a post card I made from an old photo of my parents, I must have been 6 months old when this picture was taken -- see the big grin on both their faces? ;o)
It's kind of humbling to realize that my mom was younger in that photo than I am right now. When that picture was taken, PC's hadn't been invented. Oh there were computers, but they were probably as large as the room you're sitting in, nothing like we're using today. That reminds me of when one of the "youngsters" came to work at my agency one summer and she didn't have her PC yet. I told her "You know, back when I first started working [40 years ago], we didn't have PC's at all." She replied in amazement, "But how did you get on the internet!??"
Oh well, sew forth and sew on...
It's so nice to look back and reminisce about the bygone days when you get together with family. Christmastime is especially nice to reunite with long-lost family.
ReplyDeleteNice post card and nice blog.

It is wonderful that you have such a nice photo of your parents, especially with them smiling.
ReplyDeleteThe kids today, they can't imagine life without the internet. I just got internet service 10 years ago at age 60. They probably wonder how I survived, LOL!
How funny! And what a sweet picture of your parents. They look so happy to be alive and with each other.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post - and your folks do look very happy! Do you sew many fabric postcards?
