As you know, I posted up to date pictures of me on my entry yesterday (thank you so much for your kind comments). This got me thinking about how I used to look. Mike has, for some time, been going through old slides and transferring them onto the computer and he came across two taken long before I met him, when I was still living at home with my parents.
I looked at them and could hardly believe it was me. Yes, I remember them being taken, the wonderful warm sunny day and later sitting in the garden chatting to my Mother. I stared and stared, could that young woman really have been me? Oh how I wish I had that figure nowadays. How time and circumstances change us. As I looked at them I remembered so much from my youth, it was a mixture of sadness and happiness. It was hard to reconcile that this young woman and myself today are one and the same.I looked at those pictures and then the pictures I posted yesterday and it was a bit of a shock. But, I am so glad Mike found them and transferred them for me nonetheless.
As you can see by my hair, I was into one of my "red" phases. The quality is not great but that is to be expected. With the passing of the years the slides have altered and deteriorated just as I have:-
Several of you have asked to hear about my hair disaster, none of you remember me writing about it before and I have spent some time this morning going back through my journal just in case. But I could find no entry concerning it so that will be coming soon.
In the meantime here is a little something for you to try. I know you will - oh yes you will - if only out of curiosity and I am going to really enjoy imagining you all sitting at your computers and doing it!
1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction!!!
I told you so...
There is nothing you can do about it. Make sure you pass this on to your friends... They won't be able to believe it either!!!

Hi Jeannette, I agree with Jan I`m afraid, you haven`t really changed at all, I can see it`s you alright. You still look just as nice today as you did then, just a bit older as are we all. I tried the foot and hand test and as you said it`s impossible to do! :o)

Lovely pictures of you Jeanette...Like yourself,I too used to have my hair all colours and I was never satisfied with just one colour for long,I had to try this one and that one and I also had hair disasters...I over bleached,which I done myself with LeOral blue,oh dear! what a mess that was...My hair was breaking away on top.I didn't go out for a while.I ended up going to the hair dressers to get them to cut my hair short so it didn't show...Take care of yourself and I wish you well!

You were beautiful! But, you still ARE beautiful!! Don't doubt that for a second!
I know what you mean about looking at old pics and not believing it's you in the pics. I've done that before. Luckily, my friends all are people I've known for years (30+years!) and they tell me I look better now then I did then. I want to believe their kind words....but I also know that they can be REALLY GOOD LIARS!! LOL!!
You look very pretty in both sets of pics! Enjoy the reminiscing back in time.

Hi Jeannette, these are lovely pictures of you ~ aren't you tanned !! And you're just as lovely today if I may say so. I like your graphic too, beautiful :-) My mum and dad have lots of slides ~ I didn't know you could put them onto the computer !! Maybe I will try for them :-) And I cannot, for love nor money, keep going in the right direction with my foot and hand LOL
take care, much love
Debbie ~xxx~
Love the photos. Thanks for sharing them with us. That graphic is great also. LOL at the foot/circle thing. Have a great one. Barb
Lovely photos, I just wish I could stoop down like you are in the second pic....Well, I could probably get down like that but I'd never get up again!! Jeannette.
LOLOL you can't well i can't...Just got looked at like am mad by G LOL...Love the graphic and you look lovely in the pics...you look lovely now too and you suit your hair dead short and the natural white/grey Caff xxx
Those pics of you are fab - what a fantastic figure you had :-) You should feel very proud of yourself :-) I went back to look at the pics you'd posted the day before and your still looking great. Thank you for sharing them with us xx
I'm glad the blood tests are over, you've done very well, shame on them not having enough viles.
You look stunning in the pictures Jeannette, you haven't really changed a lot, one thing I notice you still have the kind of complextion film stars pay thousands for.........they would be so jealous. Hope you're feeling ok. Rache
Don't know about the foot, but my brain changed direction at the same time as my figure. Keep laughing - we're getting old.
Hugs Sylvia xxxxx
