Memories

Ok, so the lyrics don't really fit with the photo but the TITLE does so I am going with it. I bought this bracelet during my trip to Tanzania eight years ago which was the biggest adventure of my life. My sister encouraged me to go with her and when I commented the earrings she had purchased matched my bracelet so well, she gave them to me without any hesitation. I am reminded of that selflessness every time I wear them so my memories are of the trip AND of what a generous soul my sister is.

Good shot, great story, never really liked the movie, although Redford and Streisand were really good in it.

@grammyn Kind of star-crossed lovers in a sense. She first meets him when he's in the service; they cross paths years later when in LA and in the film or music industry. They marry, succeed but it's the McCarthy years and his anti-war activities put him under suspicion somehow. Eventually he gets black-listed, their marriage falls apart and then my memory gets muddy on what happens next. Somehow they end up meeting up again, but it's a bittersweet reunion and I think one of them dies. It was called The Way We Were and they selected it as our prom theme. I just kept saying to people- "how can we remember the way we were, when we aren't "were" yet?" They would laugh at me and say- "It's because of the stars and the song; not the meaning Ann!" LOL
