We are of the same era, so your memories are parallel to own preciaous memories!<br /><br />Plus, I appreciate you suggesting old movies (the only kind!).Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690722786561637489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1469962485360170433.post-41379572803727817492022-05-30T07:16:56.727-05:002022-05-30T07:16:56.727-05:00Dear Patti, Oh yes.

Marriage is hard work and you are so correct, people worked things out then. <br /><br />Thank you for that precious compliment on my mom and dad's photo, I'll pass it on to my 92 year old mom! She still looks very similar! And she still has those same values, she's very generous with her loved ones but she ain't gonna buy those then dollar bags of bows at Christmas time either! lol Once we were at Walmart together and we had been looking for bows for Christmas, the prices were nutso for *bows*. We finally found the traditional ones either at Walmart or Dollar General for right under several dollars and she said..."Now *that's* more my speed!" : )<br /><br />Love and hugs!<br /><br />Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093408888499365118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1469962485360170433.post-85776624187959709762022-05-30T07:10:12.218-05:002022-05-30T07:10:12.218-05:00Thank you Sandi!

I'll have to pass that compliment on to my mom, she's 92 years old and still looks very much like the photo! : ) Yes, I was so proud of my parents when I was a little girl, I thought they were so special and very kind people too.<br /><br />That wall phone was the only phone we had in the entire house for years, I remember in highschool talking to girlfriends and the like standing there in the kitchen, sometimes sitting on the old tile floor. <br /><br />Your comment was a total delight! <3Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093408888499365118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1469962485360170433.post-52851767548436080042022-05-28T12:36:38.837-05:002022-05-28T12:36:38.837-05:00That's Myrna looking at Fred March, not the ch...That's Myrna looking at Fred March, not the character Fred.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948766889057998160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1469962485360170433.post-25559305198036147872022-05-28T12:34:23.478-05:002022-05-28T12:34:23.478-05:00The Best Years of Our Lives is one of my favorite ...The Best Years of Our Lives is one of my favorite films of the entire 1940's. It is our annual Veteran's Day movie. My favorite line in film comes from there. When Peggy is lamenting that her parents don't understand how it is for her and married Fred, Myrna looks at Fred and says, "Everything's always been so perfect for us? How many times have I said I hated you and believed it in my heart? How many times have you said that we were all washed up? How many times have we had to fall in love all over again?" Wow! Such an amazing line! Couples of that generation worked things out and fell in love all over again, rather than throwing in the towel. <br /><br />Such a gorgeous picture of your mom and dad. What a beautiful couple! And what a strong, wise mother! Standing against materialism and excess spending! I love it!!<br /><br />Love and hugs,<br />Patti Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948766889057998160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1469962485360170433.post-91747896647725473982022-05-28T11:29:01.169-05:002022-05-28T11:29:01.169-05:00So many things to think about when we look back on...So many things to think about when we look back on history, people who gave so much, people who honored our country. I love that photo of your parents. To me it looks like two movie stars. That's movie stars from long ago when movies were a delight. ;-) <br /><br />"in our yellow and white 30s kitchen on our wall phone"<br /><br />This.sounds.delightful!<br /><br />🌸Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702620069148109246noreply@blogger.com
