Aries Woman

2008.03.28

At 4: Can I have my dolls now, please?

At 14: School holiday

At 21: What is out there?

At 32: What else is out there?

At 54: So far so good

Today: Still enjoying Life ...

... and intend to enjoy the rest of it in sunny sunny Spain –– Olé!

Birthday tomorrow, a good time for a retrospective of a life that has been quite eventful and challenging. Thanks to late sister, the self-appointed custodian of the family archive, these black-and-white photos were intact in her albums.

Taking a break now to reflect on what else is around the corner. Also to pursue my Spanish language studies, as I believe one lives only half a life in a country if one doesn't fully understand its language. Back, hopefully, in the summer. Thanks to all who provided useful comments and encouragement, and for sharing so many unforgettable photos.

Muchas gracias mis amigos y hasta luego.

I love this post! We are exactly the same age... isn't life grand at 54?! I can't help but notice the confidence in your face that comes with age. :-)

I really enjoy looking at old photos, especially if they show how a subject has changed. Thanks for your personal history I really like # 7 and the one piece bikini !!!
