I decided to take part in XingfuMama’s photo challenge this week. All you need to do is post photos of objects one can sit upon.
Here’s a ‘throw-back’ from 1998, snapped by our son Jeff. Hubby and I were resting on a bench in a rainy Central Park before leaving for the airport on our way back to South Africa. I really loved that flowery umbrella and wish I knew where it eventually disappeared to.
Another memory from 6 years ago when our granddaughter Sienna was visiting us with her dad in Johannesburg. In our local shopping mall we came upon this rather flashily-dressed cow reading the Daily Mooews.
Wishing you all a great week ahead. To take part in this challenge, go to https://xingfumama.blog/pull-up-a-seat/

Love the throwbacks and you and the hubs are a great couple –
Hmm and Do wonder what happened to the umbrella –
funny how things disappear at times
Thanks, Yvette. I think that umbrella has gone to the same place as all the odd socks. 😀
yes yes yes –
Love these. They brought a smile to my face. They look like wonderful memories. So glad you are joining in.
Thank you. It’s a fun challenge. I’ll be back. 😃
Sweet granddaughter photo … and you too … look marvelous ❤
Thanks so much, Issy. 🙂
Love all the smiles!
Thanks, Karen. We’re a happy family. 😃
Oh what adorable memories . I can feel the happiness in both photos 😉 beautiful captures Sylvia. Have a lovely day
Thanks so much, Kathy. I have so many happy memories. 😃
Lovely warm photo’s
Thanks, Kathy. 🙂
Wonderful! What a lovely look back, though I must say the 1998 seems like just a few weeks ago.
Oh my goodness! You too, Gunta? 😟
Do let us know when you get to the bottom of the missing umbrella saga. :). That is one snazzy cow and even snazzier girl.
Thanks, ZL. I don’t think there’s any hope for the umbrella after all the intervening years since I last saw it. 😢
Fun and fabulous photos always leave a smile!
Thanks, Eddie. 😃
Lovely photographs
Thanks, Derrick.
Old snaps like these take us back in time, within in a second 🙂
For sure they do. 😃
Fun photos! 🙂
Thanks, Lynette. 😘
What precious shots.
Thanks, Fi. 😘
I love your 90’s hairdo in the first photo….and your flowery umbrella! Very sweet photo of your granddaughter too.
Thanks, Gerrie. I have very fine and poker straight hair, so the perm fashion was a boon for me. I sometimes am tempted to do it again but then hubby reminds me of all the times it went wrong, so I resist. 😅
Same here with the fine hair..& a couple of 90s hair disasters!
😳
Both of these made me smile.
I’m glad you liked both photos, Frank.
such great shots Sylvia! Have a great week!
Thanks, Lisa.
Two very beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing. Where are you now? Florida or SA?
Thanks, Brian. We’re in Florida, but are planning to go to South Africa in May/June.
Which would be early winter there? 🙂 Makes sense so you can escape the Florida heat.
Yes, but the heat will still be here waiting for us when we return. 😳
True. But then I was born in the Far east and raised in Africa, I don’t mind the heat one bit. No ma’am. 😉
I’m a fair-skinned English girl, so have to be careful about too much sun. 😳
Understandably. I’m a fair-skinned, green-eyed Breton boy who was raised in Africa and already had too much sun. I am careful too. Cheers.
So sweet! ❤
Thanks, Jill. 😘
Both are lovely and cute. Oh, your umbrella looks so cute too.
Thanks, YC. It was my favourite umbrella. 😃
I just can’t keep up with your posts – I post one of my own disappear for 10 days or so return and boom im 10 behind
Well, thanks for visiting, Scott. My postings go in fits and starts. Thanks for the comment.
That is some cow! How clever.
Thanks, Carol. It was quite a surprise to see this cow. Sienna was fascinated. 😃
Photography allows us to crystallize a moment in time so that we can look back and relive the memories with clarity.
How right you are, Rebecca. I could sit and look at photos all day. 😀
hahaha love the mooews.. 😉
Thanks, Lisa. It’s a fun creation. 🙂
Great shots. Love the whimsy of that cow.
Thanks, Nancy. Someone sure had fun creating her. 🙂
Aren’t you all just the cutest!
Thanks, Dawn. 😃
Lovely shots – and you and hubby look so great as usual!
Thanks so much, Ann Christine. 😘
You look about twenty in that photo Sylvia! Have to say Hub doesn’t seem to have changed at all. Only difference with you is the hair style!
Thanks for your lovely comment, Jude. 😘 I shall endeavor to always look 30 years younger than my age. 🤣
Love that cow and her Mooews!!
Thanks, Sue. 😃
😀😀
So beautiful photographs, Blessing and Happiness to you all dear Sylvia, Thank you, Love, nia
Thanks, dear Nia. xx
