The Year 1981

I recently picked up this book at a Goodwill store. I admired Princess Diana, so I bought the book.

As I was reading a little news today I had the thought to look up this day, July 29th in history.

As it turns out Princess Diana and Prince Charles (now King Charles) were married on this day in 1981.

This summer a new thrift shop opened up near where I frequently fill up my car’s gas tank, so I went in to check out the store. I headed straight for the books as is my usual routine, and I found this book about Diana. I am not one to spend too much time reading royal news, however, Princess Diana and I were not that far apart in age, and I had admired her.

Another important event during the year of 1981 was my college graduation. During my senior year in college (1981) I was dating a young man who by coincidence looks a little like one of the sons that Princess Diana and Prince Charles would later have. I will post a picture so that you can judge for yourself.

Here I am my senior year in college at a dance with my red-headed boyfriend at the time.
