Feeling...kinda old

Yesterday we had a BBQ for the Junction boys. My sister, Ruben, my nephews & their two friends, staff, Gerald and I. Great fun had by all. Having just been reunited with our family photos, (remember the storage thing?), I had set out a few favorite family pictures around the house. A couple of the boys see a picture of my grandmother and ask "is that you Brenda?" Geez, I hope she was 47 when that picture was taken. But here's the one that really got me; some of the boys wanted to see pictures of Gerald and me when we were dating. I bring out a box of pictures, it was the 70's, one of the boys said "Wow, I've seen these kind of pictures in the text books, never thought I would meet anyone who actually used to look that way". The "text books"? Ugh!
