Does anyone know how I can fix this double spacing madness I have going on here :)

I'm always fascinated when I hear some one blurt out, "ah, the good ol' days." hmmm.... I often wonder what that means exactly. My dear friend, Hazel who just went onto her new life with the God of the universe always had such profound wisdom; I took every word in as if it were a drink of water needed for survival. So many words that proceeded from her mouth were gold to me. She was an outstanding women of God. She didn't know the Lord until her late 40's & truly was a berean; the older woman teaching the younger. I believe she was 86 when she passed this past year. I loved her so, I thank God for giving her to me & I thank Him for the wisdom she would share with me all the years I had the privilege of having her in my life.

Hazels hey-day was in the 40's. She was a cute brunette with lots of spunk. From the pictures that she showed me, she wore red, RED lipstick, cute dresses, heels & had adorable victory roles. She was a beauty! Hazel had it all going on, a gal to behold. She would tell me stories of the men in her life & the dances she attended so on & so forth. Hazel would say, "ah, the good ol' days!" Of course she would be talking about how young men & women behaved compared to today's standards. She was horrified! She was ok with dating at the time, but later in her walk came to understand its pitfalls. Hazel however, would never dare in her life approve of kissing on the first date. Actually, she believed that was for married people only. I loved that woman. I loved all that she taught me, her stories, her spunk, her enthusiasm. She understood.

The good ole days. Hmmm... well, some how we have this romanticized idea that things were better, & sometimes they were, but the dating scene is what it is. This was a fun article below. Im finding fun vintagy pieces to share & while scouring the web, I surely have learned a lot about the good ole days! :P Not so sure the 50's were that great as far as dating. Some good points, but... "don't kiss the girl on the first date!" eeee-gads! How about no kissing at all! It all started in the car, don't you know. :P The back seat....... bad idea. Oh well, what do I know.
