Papercraft Star 52

♥♥♥♥♥♥

Papercraft Star opens its 52nd challenge today with this photo as our inspiration.

Now, this reminds me of the sofas we had in our common area in our dorms when I was in college, in the middle ages.  The boys would have to wait here for us to descend the stairs in our skirts and twin sets, out for the evening, but back by curfew, 11:00.  Can you even imagine ...

We were in the last vestiges of the old world, and on the brink of a new one.

An old Chinese proverb says something like "may you live in interesting times."  The year I met Dom, 1968, was the most tumultuous of all those 1960 years - the death of Martin Luther King, and of Robert Kennedy, the Democratic convention with its massive uprising in the streets, riots all over the country.  Not to mention a terrible war, the older people believing it was just, the younger knowing it wasn't.  Yes, most interesting times.

But of course, we really want to remember the sweetness of it all too - a true belief we could find peace, people reaching out to one another, the thrill of the possibilities.  Today we benefit from that innocent time - greener living, less trash, better knowledge of the world around us, even community farms.  

Well, enough of all my wanderings ....
