2003. forgotten

 

been so long ago

you comforted children’s fear

now it’s each other’s 🦊❤️

One of our friends has a soft spot in her heart for discarded dolls. I found this scene very poignant. 🦊❤️ 

2002. a new day

 

first song of the birds

brand new magnolia blooms

a new day starting 🦊❤️

I stood on my balcony before the sun came up. The first song of a bird broke the stillness. A Magnolia tree seems to have increased its blossoms overnight. What a way the start a new day. 🦊❤️

2001. really???? socks????

 

we now live in a time

where socks are locked behind glass

what in the world next??? 🦊❤️

I went to Walmart this morning to buy some new jeans and socks. I asked a salesperson where the men’s socks are located. He said, “I’ll take you there, let me get the key”. I thought I misheard him so I said nothing except, “Thank you.”  I was blown away to see every pair of socks locked behind glass. I thanked the salesperson for his help - and then I left without buying socks. Really??? Socks???? 🦊❤️

2000. killin’ time

 

got nowhere to go

nothing important to do

we’re just killin’ time 🦊❤️

Yesterday was my son Kevin’s future bride Hillary’s bridal shower. The men, including my son Kevin had to leave the restaurant and find something to do for a couple hours then return at an appointed time for Kevin to participate the final shower game with Hillary. After eating three pizzas in a local pizza joint, going to a coffee shop for a cup of Joe and cookies and walking in circles through the town, we resorted to standing around a pot hole and looking at it - just like a road crew at a repair site. The shower was wonderful!!! Lol 🦊❤️

1999. mikey

 

mikey’s tuxedo

and tommy’s bright orange coat

they’re real fashion plates 🦊❤️

I just finished Mikey in paper mache. What fun it was tailoring her spiffy tuxedo and sweet face in paper mache. 🦊❤️

1998. hypnotized…

when you look at me

with those big green saucer eyes

i am hypnotized 🦊❤️

My friend’s cat Gypsy has eyes that are too big for her petite body. They  hypnotized me!!! 🦊❤️

 

1997. service with a smile

I love making a morning stop at our little Wawa convenience store in Flourtown. Really nice employees who give service with a smile!  A breath of fresh air…🦊❤️
