WWC: Then & Now

WWC again! I thought this was going to be very difficult, but then at the last minute, I had some inspiration. The words this week are THEN & NOW. The Weekly Word Challenge is brought to us by the cold suffering, soon to be married, Tink of Pickled Beef. How do people in Florida get a cold anyway? the air conditioning too high? On to the words, remember to click to enlarge:


When I was but a mere child, mom would let us play with her old make up. This is what it looked like THEN.

This is what makeup looks like NOW. The biggest difference is in the mascara, they are both Maybelline btw.


Back THEN if you wanted ice cream, you had to make it yourself and it took quite a bit of effort.


I had to get this photo on-line because I don't own one of these new-fangled machines. If I want ice cream NOW, I just go to the store.


If you were inclined to eat back THEN, you also had a fair amount of work cut out for you.


Unlike NOW, when I just have to go to the freezer. (yes that is ice cream in the tub in back)


Of course, back THEN, if you were lucky enough to go to school, all the grades were taught in one room.


Unlike NOW, where there are many rooms, the grades are divided amongst several buildings and kids no longer consider themselves lucky to get an education.


This is how you went about building camp back THEN.



NOW, of course, there isn't as much work involved and you can take it with you.

Yes, these people are my relatives and as some of them are blog shy, I blurred their faces.


That's all folks, hope you have a good day, drop by and see Tink if you would like to join our band of shutterbugs.
