I got my hair cut yesterday. The lady that always cuts my hair is Pam and she is a true sweetie…closer to the age of my own kids. We were talking about old photos and she said that she looks older in some of hers from 20 years ago than she does now.
I definitely think that is true of mine. This was taken in the ‘80s !
When my sons were growing up we lived in Northern New Mexico for a few years and spent a lot of time hiking. This was taken somewhere in the Colorado Rockies. I can tell it was the year one of my sons took his mountain bike.
He ended up having to carry it for most of the hike. And I have his insulate pad as well as my own on my pack. He was an older teen but carrying a bike was still a challenge. We weighed our packs back then and mine was around 35 pounds…that’s back when I weighed about 100 pounds! lol
And what’s in the pink bag hanging off my belt in front? Pistachios. A girl has to eat! lol
~Memories~
I sure loved hiking with my boys!
I’m joining Seaside Simplicity

i love memories :)
love for you x
Cute picture...you are one of those gals who never ages!
Great memories. Before lupus invaded my body, I use to hike and it was nothing to carry a 50/60 pound pack. Miss those days. You look great then and now.

What a great photo of you!!.. and such awesome adventures with your boys.
You don't look old there, but I don't know what you look like now to compare it to. You look very pretty there. That's funny that your son had to carry his bike most of the way. You should go hiking again with you sons now. :)
I think you look good. You know you were really healthy, hiking and carrying loads of equipment. xoxo,Susie
You are a very pretty lady in the hiking photo posted. What energy you must have had with teenage sons and hiking activities at the same time!
Looking Good!!! I don't think I ever weighed 100 lbs....just skipped right over it!!!
Ah...if we could only have those skinny days back!
Oh My ! That's some real hiking.A beauty back then as well.
What great experiences to re-live!
You look great too!
Memories...what would life be without them! I don't know about looking younger, but I certainly would like those skinnier days back! XOXO
I don't think you look at all old in the photo. I'd say you looked young and healthy. Have a great weekend Diane. Hugs
Look at that cute picture of you! And carrying a pack that weighs as much as you do yourself! :-)
That looks like so much fun! My husband and I used to enjoy hiking. Should get back to that.
I think you are a beauty at all ages,
Thanks for sharing your memory!
You look cute then and now! I love hiking and hope to do some again this spring. hugs, Linda
That is a cute photo of you from the past. You look so young and tiny. What a load you were carrying on your back!

What a great photo! Love it. And I love Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado. Some of the best scenery in the country.
What a fun flashback-well, except for packing all the extras for your son. I see you had your pistachios close at hand so no one could steal them- xo Diana
