If I can do half what I propose I will be quite happy! It will be exciting trying - it is such an enchanting time for me, I hope it lasts as long as possible. Of course we know it won't, but I shall try to enjoy it while it does last!Diana Birchallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18291540900938654707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2716833846895246215.post-63708834389247055322015-06-23T04:47:22.140-07:002015-06-23T04:47:22.140-07:00Very interesting.

I like the one of you in he parking lot in 1985 -- I can see the transition from you in the 1960s pictures of you as a married woman with Paul as Baby; you look (as I did) like something from 1950s movies. In this second you are transitioning or have transitioned to the later 20th century and become a younger version of the way you look today. Your hair was beautiful.<br /><br />Congratulations. I hope you get to do at least some of what you propose.Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14979942382683140531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2716833846895246215.post-3343629335790998422015-06-23T03:02:33.144-07:002015-06-23T03:02:33.144-07:00I will try, Callmemadam!
