Not Wuss-Out, Way Back!

I thought of my title before composing the post for once. In general I prefer Throwback Thursday to Way Back Wednesday, but I can’t fight the calendar. I am also trying to fight my mid-winter malaise. Good God, is it only MID winter? I was hoping we were in the home stretch. But I digress.

Way Back indeed!

I went to February 2017 and found a really old picture. October 1990. Holy crap, am I getting old! I have been thinking lately about how time flies. My question is: If time is moving so quickly, why isn’t it spring yet?

Abominable!

Here is a shot from 2017. Obviously not as way back, but I wanted to show snow. I actually have not looked at my deck in a while, since I have been using the front door. I just imagine it looks similar.

Do I look like a criminal to you?

I do not remember how old the picture is, but I believe the frame was added in 2015 by my friend, Norm. This was about the time I played Roxalana Druse in Roxy by Jack Sherman, a play sponsored by Herkimer County Historical Society with Ilion Little Theatre. It was an original script about a local, historic murder.

I guess this post jumped around a little, but you’ll have that, especially with this blog. I am just happy I avoided another Wuss-Out Wednesday. Or worse!

Perfume to Pooches

I often have a Throwback Thursday, but some people have a Way Back Wednesday. I think that would be better than a Wuss-Out Wednesday. Instead of looking to my Media Library, I will check out some of the photos I’ve taken with my Tablet.

Memories of elegance.

This is a picture I took at Showcase Antiques in Little Falls last summer. Perhaps that is not so far back, but it brought me way back to when I was a little girl. My sisters Vicki and Cheryl, and I each had a bottle of Evening in Paris which our mother had given us. Mine was the smallest, just a cylinder not much more than an inch tall, but it held perfume, not cologne or toilet water, as in the bigger bottles. It wasn’t till years later I learned the difference, but even back then I liked the word “perfume” better.

We love our fur babies!

Here is a Way Back picture. I’m not even sure what year it is but prior to our having a Tablet or even a computer. As you may notice, we put a snap shot on a napkin and took a picture of it with the Tablet. It is our beloved Tabby (right) with her cousin, Sapphire. Sapphire was Steve’s sister Ruby’s dog. Both dogs have sadly gone over the Rainbow Bridge.

That thought makes me sad again, because I heard today that Tabby and Sapphire (and Spunky) have been joined by Bubbles, my cousin Angie’s dog. I never met Bubbles in real life, but I fell in love with her via Facebook.

Isn’t she adorable?

So this is my blog post. Memories of perfume and pooches. I hope tomorrow I can shake this melancholy, but no promises. As always, I hope you’ll stay tuned.
