Shake your hair….

The hair is the richest ornament of women.  ~Martin Luther

Mamma would roll her hair up….

on the porch before we got central air.

We would all sit outside and talk.

Ice cream was usually involved and then we would watch the moon and the stars at night, and then talk some more.

Dreams of a grandfather….


Looking back….

the past is never where you think you left it ~ K Porter

 


A song to help get you through the day….

 

I close my eyes and the flashbacks start.


Anchors away….

All hands on deck.


You’ve got a friend….

 

 

 


Good Sunday morning to you….

 

Don’t you know that its worth every treasure on earth, to be young at heart.

Tonight’s Line-up….


Her favorite color is chrome….


It’s back to school time….

 

the body may be dragged there, but the spirit refuses to attend.



True beauty at any age….

consists of simplicity.

And no weapon in the feminine armory to which men are so vulnerable as they are to a smile. 


Let me tell you something Ethel….

“Why are people all upset about same sex marriage? What’s all the fuss?

Walter and I have been having the same sex for over 50 years, no need for people to get their panties in a wad.”


Faded photographs….

are precious memories.

This photograph is of my cousin Edna Ruth Lee from Seneca, South Carolina reading on her porch at home.

She still lives in Seneca and has grandchildren now, about the same age as she was when this photo was taken.

She is seen here seated in a cane chair-reading the daily newspaper’s cartoons.

I like the way the chair is tilted back and think the photo captures well the innocence of youth.

 


A sailors goodbye….

How lucky to know someone who it is so hard to say goodbye to.


Simon and Garfunkel are 70 years old….

A great blessing in life is having a memory of the same events.

The same mode of thinking.

Old Friends.

“Can you imagine us years from today, sharing a park bench quietly?”
