71 years
me at 72
As I connected the dots between these two pictures, I saw the canvas of my life spread out before me. For a moment I felt sad, so much of it gone. However, living in America for the past 50 years, I have learned to take a good look at a lemon or two and make lemonade. The Swedish part of me tends to be a bit more gloomy, but that's another story.
All those years, all that happened, the stories of my life. I have no desire to examine my earlier life here, but I would love to tell some stories of my adventures. I don't claim to be a great story teller or even a good writer of this, my second language, but I love to write and that's enough for me.
And that's the reason I changed the blog template. I like the black background for pictures, but I'm not crazy about reading in white on black. I also reorganized my sidebar; I was getting tired of all the clutter. You will find stuff at the bottom of my blog and more things from the sidebar may end up there in the future. I just want a cleaner look. Hope you like it.

a bright new look. looking forward to tales. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to your stories.... you always tells such good ones!
ReplyDeleteYou were darling at one... and darling now - and you still have those apple cheeks and dimples!
I prefer blogs that are easier to read. A lot have text so small and similar in color to background they are hard to read. Just be sure to keep your wonderful header pictures.
ReplyDeleteVad duktig du är och fixat ny layout. jättefin.
ReplyDeleteFina bilder i förra inlägget....vad varmt du har. Vi har lite vanligt höstväder. Hoppas vi får en mild vinter så vi kan vara ute med hundarna i a f till sista januari då det är lovligt. Saknar du inte svensk vinter?
Kram!

Can't wait to read your stories. Love your two photos.
ReplyDeleteHooray, Inger! Will the real Inger please enter the room?...:)JP
ReplyDeleteClever post! I know we will enjoy the stories yet to come.
ReplyDeletei can certainly see that the little girl is you, you have not changed all that much. the young you makes me feel happy when i look at it. so cute and full of laughter. your new blog look is fine with me.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to hear about the adventures you have had in your life. You still look a lot like you did at 2....your smile is still just as warm as when you were a child.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliments. My 72-year old smile would have been much better if I hadn't tried to cover up that missing tooth.
ReplyDeleteWith that nose, there's no mistaking me. Ack, a perfect Swedish nose it is, often compared to a certain kind of vegetable.
A change can feel like a breath of fresh air. I've been considering some changes too.
ReplyDeleteI like what you've done with your place! The smile looks the same to me too.
Oh yes, love the new look, Inger! You look fabulous for 72 btw.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, Inger. I look forward to hearing about your adventures.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I love the new look. And I'm looking forward to reading your stories and getting to know you even better.
ReplyDeleteThe new look works for me! It's easy for me to read.
ReplyDeleteHi Inger! I love your new look and can't wait to read your stories. From what I have read so far, you had many adventures.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie pie you were at 1 year old! And you are still a cutie pie!! I love you Inger!
It looks great! Can't wait to read your stories! ~Jeff
ReplyDeleteLooks great, nice and easy to read. Can't wait to read your stories and memories
ReplyDeleteDear Inger, I like the new look. Thank you so much for keeping Dulcy's two books pictured on your blog at the bottom. That was extremely generous and kind of you.
ReplyDeleteDoes this posting mean that you are going to begin to tell us stories of your life's adventures? If so, I'm eager to read them. Right away! And Write away! Peace.
You look just like you :O)... Does that make sense, at 72 you look just like that cute little 1 year old you :O).
ReplyDeleteIts fun to change up the blog sometimes :O)
Oh my word! What an adorable baby. And I sure love your light, light hair. I hope you feel better soon. :)
