Thematic Photographic- Old

Good morning on this grey-rainy-warmish Tuesday to all!

THEMATIC PHOTOGRAPHIC

Carmi is feeling, thinking old for our theme this week!

OLD is, a good thing.

Oh yes, some things get better with age.

"Breezy days 

deserve the union

of two old friends."

Sanober Khan

On those breezy days many old things fly by.

Good old fashion fun.
Making good use of  everyday moments
brings memories to breeze in again.

Time after time.

So many ways to define old.

What truly matters is how old you feel.

Even when some things pass their intended purpose -
What once was, will be again.

My parents purchased this charming old chap when I was a growing up-

and just last year, I handed him down to my oldest son.
Good old jolly Santa Claus lives on in another new neighborhood.

OLD, can be such a wonderful thing, don't you agree?

Just last weekend I brought this old boy out of the china cabinet-

He's a  vintage Lion Head (Automatic 1 oz Jigger Liquor Whiskey Bottle Pourer Stopper) belonged to my parents before coming to me.

So many childhood memories come flying by just looking at him.

Maybe it's time to hand him down again?

"A thrill of thunder in my hair:

Though blackening clouds be plain,

Still I am stung and startled

By the first drop of the rain:

Romance and pride and passion pass

And these are what remain.

 (good old fashion memories)-I say.

Strange crawling carpets of the grass,

Wide windows of the sky

So in this perilous grace of God."

G.K. Chesterton

So happy old trails to you all today!
