P is for …

…photographs! To be honest I had several things in my mind for P but I’ve opted for photo’s because they capture all that is dear – and some things that aren’t!

Not many words this week, I’ve decided to share a couple of very old photos with you and one more recent which I just love from our recent holiday – please excuse my little indulgence!

I think I was probably about three when this one was taken with my Mum and my brother

I know I was three-and-a-half here – it was my Aunt & Uncle’s wedding – the only time I was ever a bridesmaid – I can remember having my hair curled and crying because it hurt when they took the curlers out!

John & I on one of the formal nights on our last cruise – don’t try to count the chins!!

P is also for present! As I’m celebrating the first anniversary of the Ramblings I’m hosting a giveaway to visitors to this post (via the link) – if you leave me a comment or a link to your very first post in the Mr Linky at the bottom, I’ll enter you into the draw for a surprise gift (it’s a surprise to me as well as I haven’t bought anything yet!!)

Don’t forget to hop over to see the other posts at Alphabe-Thursday – now to start planning for the letter Q…

  1. I can't believe how much you look like your mom in that first picture. And what happened to the days when we dressed our kids like that? I wish I could find dresses like that nowadays.

    Your photo's are lovely, I especially love the middle pic of you in such a pretty dress, I agree with what Jen said about, I wish we still had little dresses like that.

  4. How funny, we must have been on the same wavelength this week. I swear Mrs. Matlock, we did NOT copy from each other :) Love that first photo of you with your mom, old black and white photos are my favorite. Kathy

  17. What a cute little bridesmaid! I remember how much it hurt to get my hair done by the grown-ups back when I was little. Once I yelled at my mom through my tears: I'm not a doll! I can feel that! Haha
