Throwback Thursday

Well, the dog-days of summer are upon us. Oh, to be back east in a nice cool lake. In this snapshot one little dual personality is treading water with two older cousins in Massachusetts back in the early 1960s.
Good times.
Sabrina fair,
Listen where thou art sitting
Under the glassy, cool, transluscent wave,
In twisted braids of lilies knitting
The loose train of thy amber-dropping hair;
Listen for dear honour’s sake,
Goddess of the silver lake,
Listen and save!
–John Milton, from Comus
By the way, I did watch Under the Rainbow (1981) the other night., As expected, it was not a great movie. A young subdued Chevy Chase and a skinny Carrie Fisher were under-whelming to say the least and the movie was amateurish, but there were some very funny sight gags involving “little people”–not to mention Asians–which today would be considered politically incorrect and definitely inappropriate. I have to admit, I laughed out loud once or twice.

That’s a great picture — but wasn’t it taken in New Hampshire?
I’m pretty sure that was taken at the little local lake/pond in Worcester. There are a few other pictures in the group that include Bunker etc. on a little beach with folding chairs. Since it’s the Betterleys, it would have been Maine, and it’s not Maine.
You have an amazing memory — I’ll attribute it to the two-year difference in our ages, but the truth is that I was just oblivious 🙂
Love that picture! xo
Very cute!
I’m a big fan of the swimcap look!
