TBT: 1966 Dancing an Irish Jig

From my first marriage in April 1966...

I always loved this photo of my Aunt Florence (on left) and my mother (center) dancing an Irish jig with a flock of the cousins. Some are Flaherty relatives of my former husband and some are Carroll relatives of mine.  I remember we went from the polka music to Irish jig music. I also recall that my new husband didn't dance to either! I wonder why I've married two men who can't dance! Funny how that goes.

Interesting to look at my mother and aunt and realize they were only 50 years old at that time. Sadly both women would be dead of either cancer or Alzheimers in a decade. It's really such a shame to have lost them for so much of my life.

Week In the Life Day 1

Bit by bit I've worked on this while on vacation. My method was to transcribe all my daily journaling to the computer - eventually! Then I sorted out all my Week 34 images by day. Had I known that this would be the week I was going to do WITL, I would have done the sort that way from the git go. However...

Then I modified a couple of 6x12 digital templates to 6x8 because I finally had found 6x8 page protectors in Santa Fe NM.  So here is day 1, Sunday August 16,  though not in the template form because I realized I did not have my actions installed on my laptop! That top photo will be in sepia.

SUNDAY August 16, 2015

A quiet day. Some tidying reading and going over our bizarre credit card charges. Ugh. Ravioli, porkchops and spinach for dinner. Tried to finish up the Italian Best of Youth movie but problem with streaming. 383 minutes! No way I can watch from the beginning. Finished  calendar for SW trip.

One day done, 6 more to go.
