time travel


the next blog prompt from shimelle is about time travel, where i would want to go anywhere in time for a day. the first place i would pick would be suzi's last day, but that is too private to discuss here. so i will go to my second pick.

i would just love to spend a day in ireland,scotland or england, in the 1800's at a ball, in a beautiful ball gown, being "brought out" by my parents. i love to read of the days when life was more romantic and polite. i love all of jane austen's books. i would love to be courted and receive written letters and be expected to do artful past times, of course, i would have to belong to the upper class for this. lol. i think it was a beautiful time and i wish we could have it again, along with a proper toilet, refrigerator and stove. and air conditioning. well, it is a dream...right?

Sounds like a nice day & yes some things the future has brought us by way of manners & "courtship" leaves something to be desired! Had to giggle at the end of post - somethings are a blessing to have!

I too mention Miss Austen in my blog for this prompt! Your travel post is familiar...and I'm doing a layout on blurred photos this week for a magazine [similar theme to your 'Out of Focus'page] ....small world. :)
