Weekly Photo Challenge - Old

Old
What is it?
Age?
Experience?
Wisdom?
Memories?
Maybe
One
or all of the above.
For example...
when we moved here,
I was very lonely.
I took up quilting as a way to pass the time.
I made this quilt over 21 years ago
and I still feel the feelings I felt then,
at times.
This is old!
Look how the colors have faded.  There's not much print left in the tree.
Yes, I did feel lonely then.
This quilt is old!
When I graduated from high school,
all of us girls were given these jewelry boxes by a local furniture store.
That was back in 19 (cough! cough!) yes, back then.
This jewelry box is old.
(Please ignore the dust.)

Then one day I looked in the mirror
and
here's what I saw.

Old
o-l-d
Old.
