The best thing about
the good old days
was that gas
was 35 cents,
there were
service attendants
to pump your gas and
clean the windows
and I wasn't old.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have decided to get married on my birthday this year. How delightful! I have never had a countdown to my birth day before. :)
We now pay high prices for gas in California. Right now, I pay $3.60-$3.75 a gallon and I actually did pay 30 cents a gallon when I first learned to drive.
@fbailey Thank you...I know! I tried to talk my husband into taking me to Windsor so we could stand with the millions of others to cheer on 19 May but he didn’t go for it! So instead, I will be up at 4am to watch the festivities and pretend that I am in England on their (my) special day!!! :)
Great colourful image and the words made me smile! We share a birthday! I think it’s a cheek the Royals highjacking the 19th May! Lol! One good thing we keep getting updates on the weather so I know it’s going to be fine and dry! I think you are doing the best thing and watching on TV as there won’t be room to breath in Windsor! I worked in London when Charles and Diana got married. Our office was just down Cheapside near St Paul’s Cathedral. For over a week you couldn’t walk down Cheapside as people were camping out to make sure they got a great view! Windsor will be even more crowded as it’s so much smaller!
Let’s hope we all have a great day on the 19th - all the special people were born on that day! Lol!
@pamknowler Oh, that’s right Pam! We do share our birthday! I do love weddings and especially royal weddings. I watch them all. I know it will be a zoo but fun too! I can wear my robe and tiara and sit with Katniss and Sophie for the big event! :)
Lovely vintage shot. How nice that you share your birthday with the day Harry and Meghan get married. It will be a double celebration. Hope you have a lovely day.
I love this and love your poem too. How fun that your birthday is such a big deal this year! I’m going to record the wedding since the television coverage starts at 2:00 AM Texas time!
Love the colours in this. I worked for an accounting firm for a short time after finishing high school. People got quite upset when petrol went from 30 to 33c (AUD) a gallon. These days our fuel prices can vary by 30c a litre from one day to the next!
I love the photo. I thought you used it before but went through your months and couldn't find it. Did you use it and replace it with something else? FAB colors.
LOL love the quote. Happy bday in advance! I love the shot here and your processing is spot on for me - it immediately brought a nostalgic feel. wonderful sky everything here just works!
We pay twice as much as you do. Prices has one way only : up.
You pic. reminds those of my brother`s. He did restore them. Now the are given and exposed to an old car museum.
Haha, I'm just trying to picture you in your robe and tiara watching the wedding :) Love this shot, there is a place just down the road from us where an attendant still work the pumps (she doesn't clean the window) She must be about 90 years old, I guess when she's gone we'll have to serve ouselves
@bella_ss Wow...that is a high price for gas! I think that the state of California pays the highest price in the U.S. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. I am really looking forward to May 19 this year! :)

Looks like we must pay about $5.50 per gallon as it's approx. $1.50 per litre.
