I look at pictures from my youth, and say, where did that pretty woman go? I agree, as someone else mentioned, it's very unsettling. Now, I am having back problems, and it's making me more upset.

Very nice shot! I've been feeling rather aged lately too, and a self portrait probably would not be in my best interest right now... <br /><br />Strangely enough, I've been playing with black and white (and different hues) also. My post today and my mosaic tomorrow will be in black and white. Must be an overload of colour from all the vibrant flower mosaics we've seen and done recently!Jenn@ You know... that blog?http://youknowthatblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-80019447422877171092009-08-23T17:26:02.676-04:002009-08-23T17:26:02.676-04:00Oh my, Mary.

All in all, as I get older, less patience with all of them, I realize it's not them, it's ME. <br />Age has been kind so they tell me, but it's not registering. My hair is completely salt & pepper, thanks to good genes I guess, and my husband still loves what he sees. I'm the one that cannot come to grips with what's looking at me in the mirror. I did a post about it a while ago called: MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL... if you care to read it in my archives. Interesting comments. I'm also a "reluctant" house wife. I always said: "I know for a fact that God did NOT put me on this earth to wash toilets" lol I would also love to be somewhere else at times.<br />My hubby has been very supportive. He's now studying law for fun. I don't mean to be disrespectful with that comment, trust me. Something else in common. He's funny, kind, a great dad, and a good husband. I'm lucky for sure. He puts up with me and that's not easy lol<br />Ok enough rambling. Wanted to come and say hello.<br />I'm posting one more post on Tuesday evening, then I'm off line for 2 weeks. My BFF is coming from Vancouver, she's also taking photography courses. She's always taking my picture, and I keep telling her to STOP!!!! Kidding aside... you look fabulous and I adore the black and white.<br />Now I know where Mosaic Monday came from... YOU Mary!<br />I'll be back.
