Like Old Times







1950's Bathing Suit: 1385

Today is Jonny and my second day in North Carolina visiting my Papa. We took at trip down to the lake so I could take a swim! Ever since I was a little girl I'd come to this spot to swim when I would visit my Nanny and Papa for the summer. My Papa would always swim under the water where I couldn't see him and grab my leg so I'd scream thinking the lake monster was going to eat me, lol! We've been having a wonderful time visiting and looking at old pictures of the family. I'm going to scan some of my Nanny and Papa back in the 1940's that I can't wait to show you! Soon we're off to dinner at the golf club to visit with some of Papa's friends.
Talk to you soon!

i just found you the other day through blooming leopold and i have to say, you are utterly adorable and full of fun. your bathing suit is basically my dream come true, and the little wooden dock, and your jolly papa. it looks like you are having so fun, and know that you have a fan in california! your beautiful face coming out of that water is perfectly mermaidish!
