I was going to post a photo of sailboats I took last week and tint it pink for Mother's Day.
It might look better in black and white |
What do you think?
In Rome, 1965: Aunt Flossie holding her cool white shades, Mr. Capuccio who my cousin says lived in the converted 1960 Rome Olympic village and two Hollywood movie stars |
Then I realized I should just put up this picture of my mother and me in our matching movie star sunglasses. The sailor suit fits the post theme nicely. OMG I think I still have a purse like that.
This last photo is by my dad who taught me it's way more fun to be behind rather than in front of the camera.

The little "movie star" is gorgeous ..... and the mommy too!
ReplyDeleteHappy mother's day!🌷
p.s. I had my laptop a little damaged and then I was out.
Thank you for caring! Hugs!
Hope you got it fixed okay, yeah I was a vision, lol. Happy Mother's Day to you, Ella! I love the rose icon is that an emoji on your computer keyboard?
DeleteThat is an emoji. ... Nice, huh? :)
DeleteYes it is, Ella, I don't think I can do that.
DeleteI like the black and white more. Happy Mothers Day
ReplyDeleteI think I do too, Fiona. Happy Mother's Day and lamb kisses to you all across the pond.
DeleteNot sure about the pink but love love love the sunnies
ReplyDeleteMe neither, Catherine, I'd love to have a pair like that again.
DeleteYou two were rockin' those shades!
ReplyDeleteAll three of us must have been quite the picture of American touristas in those white shades, Brian.
DeleteCutie patooties, you and your mom were. I remember those little scarves....Your tinted photo looks vintage, like it could've been taken in the 1960s.
ReplyDeleteMy sister wore those scarves even more than I did since she was older and always primping. I was more of a tomboy and could care less. Sure, that's what I meant to do, make a vintage photo that looked the period (;
DeleteHi Jeanna, you were a proper little poser! Love the glasses though, they certainly give anything Jackie O wore a run for their money. I prefer the slightly pink photo as it makes the boats stand out a little more.

I was, it runs in my dad's family, the photo loving Dempsey Clan. Ha, that Jackie O, responsible for many a hot day of wearing white gloves in the sun. I guess I can see that it makes the boats stand out, I'm just a sucker for black and white but don't mind the pink.
DeleteLOL - you look like a movie star in that last shot.
ReplyDeleteDon't I just, haaaaa, Fi.
DeleteI love the tinted pic more than the B&W. Best of all is your family pic. The sunglasses are indeed fantastic and what a striking image. #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteYou do, hmmm, I think the pink is winning the vote. My dad was always taking photos, annoying when I was older but much appreciated.
DeleteWhoa, gotta' love those cool movie stars ANd their glasses! (That must have been a great family trip.) I like the pinkish tint on the sailboats.
ReplyDeleteMy sister informs me that she was puking her guts out in the Roman Olympic village when this photo was taken. The child in me want so say, "Naaaahh!"
DeleteI love BW pics.... And I love old photos of families. Hoping you had a great day.
ReplyDeleteHope your deck stays comfy and dry and your critters torture you a little less in the early morning hours (:
DeleteI love the photo and yes most definitely like a Hollywood star!
ReplyDeleteHa, yas, darhling, we are all stars in our own minds.
DeleteIn the sixties?? Wow, all of you sure look very cool with shades!! Many thanks for this Mothers Day edition - and I do like the pinkish edition of the boat:) About the purse, you crack me up, Jeanna! That's the real you coming out:) Have a great week, Blog Friend!
ReplyDeleteDoes that make me a child of the sixties cuz I literally was a child in the sixties (; I looked more like my aunt and mother as I got older and although I thought I was pretty cool, have been kind of a dork most of my life. I have had more than one purse that looks like that and actually have a couch full of them I going to get rid of from my recent cleaning binge. How funny, I never realized my taste in purses was that of an 8-year-old.
DeleteI like both of the boat pics. Love the old family photo also. Memories...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pat. A little faded, but still there. My favorite thing is that my dad took the photo and I think he got a new camera on this trip which I used years later.
DeleteI dont know, I like both:)
ReplyDeleteBest regards!
Thanks, Robert, I'm still undecided.
