So here's the picture that I was going to post to go along with my other entry. I love this picture of my mum n' dad... a whole lot. I don't think they were even married at the time. I like the way my mum's lips are colored... a deep pomegranate. Who would've thought this old picture would end up encapsulated in cyberspace!
That was more than 50 years ago... I can only smile whenever I look at this picture, yet I smile with a tainted heart. I'm not sure what else to say...
Mom, Dad - I'm thinking of you today!

Awh, thanks everyone. I do look very much like my dad don't I? hehe! Even at his age now... The 'silly' things that he'd taught me like not to flick the light switches on the wall too abruptly cuz I might just break the damn thing, even pushing on the turn signal in the car... I still remember and now I understand. Simply taking care of things and they'll eventually take care of you. I know, silly silly, but that's just one of the quirky things that my dad taught me thru the years.
Funny eh?

A lovely post. It's amazing how the picture doesn't de-color much and still retains the crispness. The colors of the lips and cheek are so sharp! :)

A wonderful picture. I love tinted shots from that era. They're a very attractive pair, and your mother is especially gorgeous. Wow, they were really progressive since it looks like they both were wearing lip gloss!

I have a coding headache. I am about .0001 percent completed with my second blog. This may take a decade (not kidding) to complete.
