(Old barn, once-a-time lives; rrj 070714 end):

Old dust by rusty memories One time lace curtains in the windows Fascinating account by a challenging life Happiness and defeats, sunny days and freezing nights More than an adventure; for better or worse An image that evokes old childhood memories for many "The happy 50s" an expression of relief that the war was over An aura by joy and optimism ... the future 19.11.2016 - Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) - Copyright © All Rights Reserved
