...those were the days my friend...
Time has marched on and taken it's toll.
now, on the last day when the numbers
can be reversed, the old car has had a
number of overhauls, but refuses to run smoothly.
God willing, a little longer and then the scrap yard
or fertillizer for my roses. At least that's useful.
All our photos were lost in the 1983 bushfires,this is
one of the few remaining of my first 46 years of life.
Arija! How stunning you look! Just like a movie star!! I love this photo! :D
ReplyDeleteYou were beautiful at seventeen Arija and am sure you are still beautiful - just more matured and with lines showing your character.
ReplyDeleteBeing "old" myself I think elderly faces are far more fascinating than young, unlined ones (well I would say that wouldn't I?)!
WOW! You were beautiful! But I bet you still are, just in another way. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful..but you are the same on the inside. I was cleaning and found a photo of me and thought, "Oh my..where did that cute kid go"...
ReplyDeleteArija, So happy and so young.. Stunning is what you were and you still are!!!!
ReplyDeleteI understand how you feel, All of our photos were lost in our house fire too.. this is so precious to have .. keep it close!!
A very beautiful picture Arija and one that makes me reflect and wonder how brilliant the stars above you that night may have been with much less light than we have today. :)
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear about the loss of your photos, only a life would be more tragic.
Lovely lady!
ReplyDeleteHow sad! You lost most of your pictures from your early years. You look so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo arija, it reminds me of some of my mother I have. How awful to lose so many though. I would really hate that.

You looked gorgeous then, and I am sure you do now. Your beauty surely must be one that comes from the inside and reflects on you, no matter that time passes. Many many good years to you, we need people like you on this earth! Thank you for sharing your beauty and your sorrows.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot of you! I'm so sorry you lost your photos. I scanned all of our old family photos onto the computer and have them on disc just in case. I'm planning to do a calendar and disc for my family so we can all have them.
ReplyDeleteArija I am sitting in the same boat; they are not long the days of wine and roses... Your were so beautiful with 17 but now you are only older! I am sorry that you lost all your photos in the bushfire. All the mementos, so sad.
ReplyDeleteYou do indeed look fabulous! And I love your photos! Thank you for visiting my site, hope you'll come back again and thanks for your comment.
ReplyDeleteI thought I had commented here... Hmmm... You are as beautiful now as then..the beauty outside moves inside. I am so sorry to hear that you had a fire like that. I don't know what I would do to lose my photos...I am so sorry about that...
ReplyDeleteI thought this WAS a movie star when I first saw it... gorgeous photo... So much more style then, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteWe lost all our photos, too, to a tornado (Greensburg Kansas, May 4, 2007)... all my children's school and baby pictures... thankfully we had sent several to other relatives over the years, and they have sent us copies... so we have a few...
What a figure, and most of all - what a beautiful face and smile. I bet you still have that smile!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful that photos you now take will be preserved for your family?
You were beautiful then as you are beautiful now.
ReplyDeleteI always knew you are beautiful inside and out and I cherish you and admire you so much.
Arija, you are my special sisterfriend, sage and seer of beauty.
