“I’ve never tried to block out the memories of the past, even though some are painful. I don’t understand people who hide from their past. Everything you live through helps to make you the person you are now.” ~~ Sophia Loren

"On Dragonfly Wings with Buttercup Tea" 
Beautiful photo, Becca, with a character of its own and goes so well with the quote. True, everything we have gone through in life makes us the way we are. Good or bad, still…our own.
PS: I am sorry there was no challenge last Sunday. I have been on the road constanty for almost 2 weeks but I promise the challenge will be back this weekend again.

I had to smile when I read Sophia Loren on your blog. When I’ve gone to get my hair cut I’ve always joked (well, perhaps it wasn’t REALLY a joke) to make me look like Sophian Loren. Not been able to find a hair stylist yet who has the skills to do it . . . still looking . . .

That photo reminds me of the day I got back late from lunch in junior high, forgot to get rid of my gum, and was made to stand on the study hall stage with it stuck to my nose….
