The Lady and the Sheik -Postcard Friendship Friday #348

Back in the 1930's there were many films made about romance in the far East. This is a photo from one of those wonderful old movies. Their pose, the kiss trembling between them--well, it looks VERY romantic. (grin)

However looks are probably deceiving. Most likely these dancers are feeling quite uncomfortable! Cameras from that long-ago era took forever to take a picture.  The folks posing for a picture had to hold the stance without moving, for quite some time. How they held their smile and that sense of romance I cannot imagine!

Have a lovely day, dear Friends.  Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

I LOVE my Jewels

I have NO idea why this lady is kneeling on the rug ecstatically clutching that bit of jewelry as though it were her long-lost love . . . but it is actually kind of funny.

I am re-posting this vintage postcard.  I recently came upon it and between the postcard and the comment, I had a really good laugh this morning.  Heehee

I am doing very well recovering from my surgery.  I no longer need the walker and only use the cane when I'm going outside!  I am SO happy about that!

Have a lovely week, dear Friends.  It is nice to take time out to laugh, isn't it?  LOL

Graceful -Postcard Friendship Friday #318

I posted this wonderful postcard back in 2009.   This dramatic photo was taken around the turn of the century and for its time must have been considered quite risque. However, in this day and age, I find Miss Marian Morgan to be lovely, even faery-like in her graceful pose and long flowing hair.

God bless you, sweet Friends and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

This Heart's For You! -Guest Heart Thursday

It looks like she is saying "this heart is for you."  I love these old photos.   I have seen this girl and another French girl, in many photos taken around this same timeline.  There's something so sweet about them--and I love the feel and style of the photography.

Happy Guest Heart Thursday!

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart! -Postcard Friendship Friday #163

This May, my darling husband and I will have been married for 30 years.  Wednesday he turns 70 years old. I anticipate a long life together, since his tests have come back cancer free!  I can say without hesitation that our life together has been a marvelous adventure.  If I could go back in time, I would do it all over again.

Tomorrow I'm putting on an open house to celebrate!  It should be GREAT fun.

Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

Happy Postcard Friendship  Friday all  you wonderful people!

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let Down Your Hair

I have always loved the fairytale about Rapunzel.  Though, in real life, having such long hair seems like it would be a hassle!

This beautiful woman from long ago, has plenty of hair to be sure.

I can't imagine how heavy her hair must have been.  How would a person live with that much hair in everyday life? Just brushing it out would take all day--let alone washing and drying it all.  Then, would she wear it up?  Put it into braids?  What do you think?

She has a lovely profile.

The Lovely Bette Davis

This is a photo of the fabulous Bette Davis, from my "cyber" collection.  I adore her dress.  The lighting in this picture is phenomenal.

She was an amazing actress--lovely when she was young, powerful as she grew older.  There was always an air of mystery about her. 

I wish I could have met her.

Two Handsome Loggers

There is a museum of amazing machines near Brooks, Oregon. In the museum area for logging machines and memorabilia, I found this photo. I don't know what it is about these guys, but their faces and humorous stance caught my heart in a bit of intrigue! I wonder who they were? I think about what their lives must have been like.

I'm filled with gratefulness to them for forging their path to our future. They are a very real part of what makes our country great.
