I appreciate it.<br /><br />Mildred - It IS fun to look at the old styles of clothing, not just in the 1930s, but all the different time periods. <br /><br />Martin H. - I like the photo with both couples, too. I wish I'd asked my mom who took it.<br /><br />Vicki - I suppose it's true for nearly every couple that trouble come along and the love they felt when courting alters and looks different. I think love changes over time. <br /><br />Alan - When I commented about digital photography, I was mostly thinking about being able to easily take many photos and delete all those that were less than excellent. My mom's album is fill with blurry, out-of-focus photos. I also wonder if the digitals will stand the test of time. I seldom make prints of mine, and there really is nothing like holding a photo in your hand or looking at a group of photos in a album. Also, with the modern way of printing photos, I just don't know what they might look like in 50 or 100 years. I love the old sepias that have been around for so long. <br /><br />Nana Jo, that IS sad that their photos were destroyed. It's sad that when people divorce, they don't remember that the children might like to "remember" when things were good.<br /><br />Meri, I'm sorry for your divorce but so glad you saved the photos. Your sons won't be like Nana Jo, without photos of loving parents.<br /><br />Mary, Willow, Karen, and Brenna - thank you.<br /><br />Barbara and Nancy - I think the troubles they faced were those presented by life. Their love continued, it just seemed to change over time and didn't look so rich and new.<br /><br />Barry - I can't wait to see your photos!<br /><br />Natasha, I think her hair was permed. If you look at childhood photos of her, her hair looked straight as a poker. Yes, the socks!<br /><br />L.D. Burgus - Thanks. I think for most young couples, it's the happiest time, and then Life happens and love changes. My parents definitely look less happy in later photos. <br /><br />Thanks again to all of you for visiting my blog and leaving comments. I appreciate it.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-60257023993988813842010-05-31T20:18:41.677-04:002010-05-31T20:18:41.677-04:00I have a photo of my mom and dad when they were da...I have a photo of my mom and dad when they were dating. It was the happiest time in their whole life and you can see it in the photo. Life got tough and they made it to the end but not smiling like in the first photo. You have great photos and a great story.L.

However, after a bitter divorce, I think that most such pictures were destroyed. It's sad, really. I, too, love the one of your father with his arms wrapped around your mother.

Digital photography may be much easier and give us many more photographic memories, but I sometimes worry that - just because of the number of photos and the digital format they are in - they will not stand the test of time as well as these old photos of ours.
