Linda now blogs Monday to Friday ON THIS SITE.
My photos can be SEEN HERE
When a ride on a Ferris Wheel was better than spending hours on the internet.
When a slice of pie was better than Tiramisu or a container of Yogurt.
When a walk around the block or watching Jack LaLaine was better than Yoga or Pilates.
When not one person knew what Star Wars or a Geek was.
When no one recycled.
When the only Vampires were Vlad the Impaler and Nosferatu.
When a size 8 was really a size 8!
When no one really fought the grey or the wrinkles and aged gracefully.
When people relaxed more and did not have to spend their days running around.
When no one knew what Vintage was.
When everyone did not insist on having things like everyone else.
When Mothers stayed at home.
When everyone did not need their egos stroked to feel better about themselves.
When there was no 9/11
When Amy Winehouse was still alive.
When a dog was just a dog and you taught them tricks and not about fashion.
When people thought for themselves and did not listen to the talking heads.
When people loved their neighbour.
When people hid their Holiday Hangovers.
When people listened to radios and did not download everything for free.
When China was well... just China.
When people were not going hungry.
When the world was not so upside down.
When we formed our own ideas and stuck to them.
When we didn't have to 'Occupy'.

And not be in sorrow too?
Can I see another's grief,
And not seek for kind relief?

Dearest Linda .... Happy, Happy New Year! May it be a very good year indeed.
LOVE TO YOU KATE FOR 2012
I liked this one: "When everyone did not insist on having things [or being - my addition] like everyone else." Somewhere along the way originality got traded for homogeneity. Darn!
Great photos and Happy New Year, Linda.
HUGGGGGGGGGGG
Loved it all and relate very much to the nostalgia. Yes, when we didn't have to school dogs in fashion. Ha China was just... China.
This was masterful, Linda. Off I go to read it again.
