I'm sure you're too young to remember these stars, but they were the stars of the 30s, 40s. and 50s! Love to you dear friend! xxx

I love old movies; Gregory Peck, Fred Astaire Hoppalong Cassidy (my main crush) Maureen O' Hara, Bet Davis. Mixed bag I'm afraid. Now I will spend my morning trying to think of more.

I love to reminisce. Especially over hot chocolate and homemade ginger snaps.
