What a wonderful video, time and place brought into such focus! The VHS-tape quality adds so much to its allure and the feeling of America as a destination, rather than the TV-news backdrop that it is today. (Also, in the film of your life, Carey Mulligan should play 80s-you.)

Thanks, Ian. It was a different era, wasn’t it. I’ve never thought of Carey Mulligan like that! I will have to go look again ✨🩷

Cesca , loved every second of that video. I’ve been to all those places and I felt like I was there. That video is a treasure. So very happy that you got to enjoy that time of your life with your special friend Joy.

Hi Kathleen, yes those almost two years over there were very special. We did so many things! She’s still a bundle of fun from what I gather.

What a fun poem and so delightful to ride down memory highway in California with you and Joy! The video was such a great time capsule. That song brought back so many memories for me too!
