SEPIA SATURDAY

This window shopping photo, 

blends well for our window theme photo

SATURDAY'S CRITTERS

I believe the one thing I enjoy most about our Sepia Saturday blog,
 is a chance to look back.

My sister Oriana, holding her wedding doll (soon became mine, which I still have today) and there I am in that darling little dress 
with our beloved family dog, Putzel!

Some of these old photos are a wee bit blurry, sorry about that.  Below is a walk in the park with my daddy a perfect way to spend the day.  Surely a reason I still love spending time in parks!

"If you seek creative ideas go walking.
 Angels whisper to a man when he goes for a walk."
Raymond I. Myers


Also, still a big fan of trees and sitting in the park.

(Or rather, not, sitting still.)

My sister Oriana, was playing some game with me.  She loved playing board games, and reading and listening to the Beatles most of all.

Ah yes, "Freshly cut Christmas trees smelling of stars and snow and pine resin
- inhale deeply and fill your soul with wintry night."
John Geddes

"Christmas, children, is not a date, it is a state of mind."

I played around for best results. The above photo taken with my cell phone and the photo below scanned into the computer.

I like looking at these old photos, it brings back all the memories that I was too young to retain.  Apparently, my sister read to me all the time!

"Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them."
Lemony Snicket

"There is no substitute for books in the life of a child."
May Ellen Chase

Or dolls and dogs!

"All the secrets of the world are contained in books. Read at your own risk."
Lemony Snicket

I hope you're all enjoying your third day of this new year, and a perfect weekend for all.
Have a great week ahead.
