Throw back Thursday

I am so tired of the lockdown. So what I am doing to make myself feel better is to put this picture of a lovely vacation that I had in Amsterdam Holland years ago. I am the tall woman with the white hair.

Very nice photo, and I'm sure you must have good memories of the trip. Totally agree about the lockdown - really tired of it and can't wait until Covid is history!

A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

Looks like a picture of good times, and those buildings behind you are very interesting. I've never traveled outside the USA, in fact, until I met Joe, I had never been more than 600 miles away from home. I'm somewhat envious of those who have traveled to other countries.

Lovely group photo. Amsterdam is a beautiful city for sure. I think at this stage everyone is really sick and tired of the lockdown.

]Mrsjoe you are correct I have been on trips to a lot of places but that trip to Holland was so much fun and I was with a group of people from different races and we all had one thing in common......we were artist or people who enjoyed artwork. Do yourself a favor and take a trip to some place that you would like to see..........because as we get older we need to make things that are or will be great memories FOR US WHEN WE GET OLD.That is what I intend to do.

Hello Deerose......Amsterdam is a great place to visit.. Yes things are looking better for getting rid of the virus. Have you been to any of the Meet and greets? They are nice to get to meet and talk with the folk that are from the SFF chat and blogs.

Nice picture. Seeing old photos of good times is like reliving those moments. Must be interesting to visit Holland when tulips are blooming.

Ah, my friend. Our days of travel are all over. We made lots of great memories on our travels with Yellowduck and his sweet lady, Linda as we met up and traveled to South Carolina, Tennessee, and Missouri together.
But with his death, and Joe's and my limitations, we don't have the ability or the desire to travel anymore.
We have discussed going to Biloxi next Halloween, to meet up with old friends, and meet some new ones, but even that trip would probably be more than we could do.
But yes, we have our memories.

Fantastic scenery. You look like you are part of the décor. Being with a bunch of artistic folks has to be totally awesome. I love to travel but only far as the train and my financial realities allow. Covid has really been a real Grinch this year. My usual journeys to Washington D.C. and visiting congressional offices is out of the question. Life on life's terms.

Hello Glumo....You are so right and I was reliving those moments for a while. The stagnant feeling caused by the lockdown was eased for a few minutes in my body.

Hello Starwomyn........Yep Starwomyn I thought I was looking cute...lol. I understand and Covid has made a change in the lives of a lot of people. My financial realities were changed by it also but thank God so far we have not had any deaths in our family so far as some folk have had.

Hello Gloryrose........I can understand. I did a lot of traveling within the USA before retiring After I retired I thought it was time for me to cross the great pond and I did. My financial realities do not allow me to cross it as many times as I would like but I am thankful for the times that I did.
