It is the same for me. Being free, nothing to care about, I loved that easy life. I would go back any moment.

I think I miss the animals and the farm most of all. These are lovely photos. It is nice that you have now rediscovered them.

I have found a photo of the old dog of my grandmother. I did not know that there was one around.

@JudyEv I am sure I will find more. I looked at the albums, but I also found several boxes full of photos.

Yes, sometimes it is nice to look at the old photos. Sometimes when I see our past photos and at that time my son was just a baby, somewhat I would be tearful. How time flies! We can't go back to the past and we can just go forward. Those are still in my memory and I remember the stories in each photo.

As you say, we cannot go back to the past. Sometimes I also prefer not to go back to places. They have changed so much.

Those are pretty pictures. You look so darling over the span of the years. I like to look back at older pictures, but my favorites are of when our son was young and growing up.

@LadyDuck I took most of the pictures when our child was growing up and he has very few with me in them with him, most are with him alone or with Dad.

I had some smack talk miss Anna, but left it at the door for you. To pretty and neat to see. Nothing against you but you know how people judge, Let me know I am the best smack talker ever for liberty and conservative rights as long as Trump is not involved You a lovely lady and is neat to see such lovely picture. In fact, very cool, but do hope people are actually real about and if they troll you, will be here and If I have to Marines always around the corner, but that might be in a shanty,

I just wanted to say they in small shanty like shack. Love those English Europe terms.
