This photo of people dancing the tango on the beach. What a prompt! There's much to find joy in -- the old swimwear and the dancing on the beach.

I was inspired to find some more images of dancing that make me smile.

    Oh my, how swimsuit styles have (thankfully) changed! My favorite here is the dance line at the beach. Made me smile :-)

    All great fun! Their costumes look more suited for dancing than swimming.

  Sepia Saturday challenges bloggers to dig into the past and share photos based on a visual prompt. This week we have a smiling couple with a shiny, sleek car. With that in mind I found these at the Library of Congress. Women's Suffrage Scout Car, 1913 Harris & Ewing, photographer.  WOMAN SUFFRAGE. SCOUT CAR . United States Washington D.C.

  Sepia Saturday has challenged bloggers with a photo of a man playing solitaire. Playing cards, solo or with others, is a fine pastime. I fondly remember my grandmother teaching me and my siblings to shuffle cards and play gin. An aunt tried to teach us poker. Bridge is a game that seems to have ended with my mother's generation. She still plays, but I never learned. (I do have one friend from high school who joined the high school bridge club. Now I wish I had.) Here's what I found while searching the Library of Congress archives. Opper, Frederick Burr, Artist.  McKinley has almost all the chips; - but the game is young, yet / F.Opper . , 1894.

  If we were having coffee, I'd have you over and offer you some honey citron tea that I got at an Asian grocery store. Give it a try. But if it's not your thing, I've got tea and coffee. You'd be able to see that it's been gray and rainy out, which is way I loved going to The Garfield Park Conservatory with my friend Patti. Timely - Peace for Ukraine It's so energizing to visit a greenhouse or conservatory when the weather's gloomy. On Thursday I made Chinese food for my parents, sister and sister-in-law. My sister was here on business from Utah so we got to see her. The food wasn't as good as the first Chinese dinner I made last month. I'm not quite sure why. I've started my taxes and am doing some spring cleaning to declutter. I want to get rid of the papers I don't need which seem to proliferate.
