When Our Parents Were Younger Than We Are

Since the Guest Blogger seems to be distracted with other petty issues, such as his new summer class and the twenty trees that arrived while I am cooling my heels in Baltimore, I thought I'd jump on and post a picture.

These snaps always bemuse me a little, especially ones of my grandmothers at seventeen or twenty, in swimming suits or with dogs, giddy with being young and moving about in gorgeous arms and legs and glamorous hair. Puts time in perspective.

Good luck, guest blogger, planting those trees.
