Life magazine just released some more photos taken at the Washington Coliseum in February of 1964.....

notice they were so new as a group that the buttons read 'The Beetles"?....and just think, these girls are probably what??/ 15 years old?? so let's fast forward to today when they would be....64...

it was the best of times .. it was the worst of times .. it seemed so long ago and far away and yet somehow it still seems like .. yesterday ..

[frenchy]

or maybe it was so long ago and far away ..

[frenchy]

or perhaps its more like time waits for no one ..

but you're right almond when you look back it does seem so long ago .. almost like a 100 years ago ..

I think JT is even better now than back then. And he's the only person to put my name in a song!

when i was younger, i'd see old pictures and they were just old pictures...then i got old enough to understand that the people in old pictures are someone's mother or father or grandparents....and that photographs capture just a second in time of someone's life...and yep....i saved those cause they defined that concept...like these...which blend then and now ..

Those pictures of people looking in the mirror are so dead on correct.  In my head, I still feel much the same as I felt when I was a young mother--maybe because I still live in the same house.  I want to play, I want to dance, I want to embrace life, and I still do as much as I can but my husband has issues that prevent much of what we did when we got married 10 years ago.  Our lives have changed a lot because of his illness, but we substitute going for a ride in the country instead of hiking in the country together.  I miss the "him" that I married, but we plod on.

Big thing for me is that 15 years ago, which seems like the wink of an eye, I was in my prime as a woman.  Fifteen years from now, I will be ooooooooooooooooooooooooold.  I don't want to think about the future.  I'm just gonna let it sneak up on me.  Maybe it'll be so gradual, I won't notice, lol.

what a weird coincidence....i was reading the LA Times on line and they have a series of articles called LA Noir...and in the photos of the era is a pic of my dad when he was a detective on the gangster squad ...1948 and the war was over... the bottom row in the striped tie...28 years old ....he died in 91...
