I dont know how many of you of my age or may be younger are old songs die hards and have a liking for Carpenters but man I was a complete romantic in my sweet sixteen years. the song, ' Yesterday Once More' by carpenters was one of my favourites and I would sing it all day long just as the lyrics croon...i would memorize each word...those old melodies, they sound so good to me, as they melt the years away!!
But they are back again ..just like a long lost friend..allthe songs i loved so well..
Life is like that..all the years gone by in a jiffy..are no more there to console us. We just memorize each memory etched in our brains forever and replay it time and again to refresh our souls..those good old times!!
You know while going through the old cds it reminded me of our young days when we all used to huddle around the comfy old heaters in the winters and our dads would treat us with those v old movies of our child hood..some even black and white ones..ahem dont think I'm that old ..just a bit matured as I mentioned in my earlier post.and those were some treats..those projector spools that were watched on the big screens at homes.ancient ones for you i guess..anyways we would sit and laugh at our moms and dads in their funny garbs and funnier goggles and funniest hairdos..my God that was the most hillarious pastime for all of us who thought were the most IN crowd..he!he!
Come to think of it there was that time when we rebuked our oldie goldie parents and made fun of them and today when we sat and watched OUR old replays was this same response..the same giggles about our 80s greased out looks and puffed up curls a la olivia Newton John.Lol! and I copied Olivia to the hilt..the same hair..the same eyes and plastered tight pants and tees..woah! 80's was not all that old my dearies..it was some times the cool macho men with side burns and spunky hairdos ..hot iwould term it. we all boogied to the sound of Bee Jees and ABBA and Boney M..
well they are no more there the good old golden years but the memories flash back the same feeling and bring a spark back again to tap our toes to the same old beats and wiggle our slightly older bones on the floor and boogey woogey the night away.
well.. cannot remain the same dancing queen of yesteryears ..got to give way to youth and enjoy their antics on the hip hop floor now..not that I cannot be a part of their hip hop scene( wink) but bow out gracefully is the name of the game..life moves on to newer pastures and onlookers remain standing on the side walks..wish I could rewind it once more and relive the part again :)

bbbooooo to bowing out of the hip hop scene...we still have to boogie together on the wedding and maybe after that you can resubmit ur retirement application and we'll reconsider. :D *big hug*
Loved the home videos, photos and listening to carpenters and frank sinatra in the car with you guys. Miss all the fun :(
