Today is Julian Lennon’s birthday. He turned 50. 5-0 years old! Wow!
I'm blessed with relatively young parents, in their early 70s. They got married right out of high school and I was born a year later. When I was three, my sister came along. They were kids with kids.
This kind of looks like my dad's hot-rod...the family car! |
We’d cruise the drive-ins, windows down, radio blasting and the two of us, my little sister and I, feeling so important, sat in the back seat. Sometimes we’d hear country music and sometimes something more exciting, like the Beatles. We’d sing, “She Loves Me, Ya Ya Ya” or "I Want to Hold Your Hand", loud as we could until dad changed the channel.
It seems like it was just the other day. And now I hear Julian Lennon’s been around for half a century. I wonder where the time has gone. I turn on the oldies channel to hear the Beatles. Occasionally their songs are too old for even them! If they aren’t found I’ll put in a CD. I’ll sing along, loud as I can, and nobody changes the channel. And I think about the two little girls, singing off key, in the back seat.
Take a sad song and make it better…
Except for the clasp, I’m finished with the kumihimo cord for my pendant. The pendant came from Anthelion Jewlery and is beautiful!
Waiting on the clasp to finish this necklace. |
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.
What fun memories!
ReplyDeleteAnd the necklace is gorgeous - is it the same pendant you had before or is it a new one?
It's a different one. They do look similar though! This one is bigger and a different color. Thanks!
