spunk

Last summer my mom came home from a garage sale with a huge box full of old photographs. And of course I permanently borrowed some.

When I look at these,
I wonder who they were.
What was their story?

I suppose I'll never know their reality. But it's fun dreaming them up.

Like this girl?
In my imagination, she's full of spunk. The slightly quirky girl that everyone adores and wishes they could be.

And these girls?
Fifty years later they still get together every Wednesday to gossip.

This woman has traveled the world. But nothing makes her feel quite as good as coming home to her cactus garden.

    i once went thru goodwill in LA and found the 4th harry potter book for 3 bucks. while i was there, i saw a photo album full of awesome 70s/80s photos. there were 2 pictures i really wanted... i pulled them out and stuffed them into my harry potter book! :P

  4. I love you for this...I collected old photos when I was in high school. I used them as inspiration for writing short stories.

  5. Those are great pictures. It's so fun to create a story for someone else. I'll bet that last woman makes mean guacamole, but hates to bake.

  7. These pictures are amazing! Plus, I laughed at the Cactus Garden explanation. If I had a cactus garden, I would happily return to it too.
