A simpler time

I was chatting with some friends the other day as to our childhoods and it brought me back to a time when growing up where water conservation wasn't really an issue, where it was safe to play in the front yard, in an open street, where we as kids just didn't have a care in the world except going from one day to the next. Where the endless summers just kept going and going. And when mum would put the whirly sprinkler on and we would don our togs and go play and dance and jump around in the sprinkler.

I'm popping this layout into the archives here to be put away for mum's Christmas album of our family (ahhhh so many albums on the go!!). I love Sharon's Smoochy papers and the nostalgic feel it gave to this page.

Oh and by memory, I do believe my polka dot bikini was red and white.

I'm gearing up for a big weekend, so finishing up tomorrow and Friday I'm heading away on a girl's weekend, back sometime Sunday. We do this once a year, head interstate to one of the girl's beach shacks, usually about 10 or 12 of us cram into this little shack with mattresses all over the place, we have a fancy dress Saturday night, and it's just a wonderful weekend. My dear old workmates from before I moved when I got married, love that they keep including me.

Shhhhhh ... the fancy dress is in teams this year and it's a secret, but as no one from my old work reads this, it's okay to tell. Think Baby Love, is that big enough hint? Think glitzy dresses and big hair. Yes, I'm Diana Ross and the other two in our team are my Supremes and lets just say you're gonna need sunglasses on when you see a pic of my glitzy silver dress I made!
