A Moment Captured in Time

One of the joys of being here is to unearth long forgotten mementos. Packed away carefully, protected against the elements, all of these objects are slowly seeing the light of day once again. On one hand they are things to sort; to determine if they really require the time and expense to care for them properly or dispose of.

Tonight I found this:



































This picture I could immediately recall in time. The Mustang is mine, the pickup is my Step-Grandfathers. I and the young lady are in front of my Grandfather's house. It is 1979. The picture was taken by my Aunt on that side, my Grandfather's Daughter. 

Aside from the old saw that "you never forget your first", I wonder where she is and how her life is going. 

I on the other hand am reminded of a song lyric: "Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then".


This moment in time captured is worth keeping.

  4. Best Seger line ever written, and believe it or not, he wanted to remove it from the song originally.
    You're picture reminds me of another great Seger line from "Like a Rock". "I stood proud, I stood tall, high above it all...I still believed in my dreams!"

  5. Your picture also reminds me of Seger's "Like a Rock". The line "I stood proud, I stood tall, high above it all...I still believed in my dreams!"

  9. Six- Thanks- The belt buckle was hand made out of stainless steel by machinists at Clinton Power Station. The car I still have.

    Brooke- FB is not telling me anything.

    Dirt- Yeah, we all rocked that back in the day right?

    Lisa- I did not know that about the line in the song, thanks! Yes, Like a Rock is one of my favorites too. I seem to have lived the song "Sunspot" too many times!

    PISSED- Yes it would!
