Renaissance Man: Photo #200

My dad is always full of surprises about his past – skills he has, jobs he’s done, trips he’s taken – I learn something new about him on a regular basis.  But nobody in the family suspected that he used to be a poet and an artist.  When I told him I might post this [...]

For our birthday, My parents made Randy and me this collage of photos of each of us growing up.  Such a cool gift.  Today we finally got around to hanging it up in the hallway.  Now I feel like a true grown-up because I have a collage photo frame in my hallway!

Girls’ Toilet: Photo #154

Our Thursday school is disorganized, chaotic, and frustrating.  But I love going there because its 50s/60s construction reminds me of my elementary school.  Aesthetically, I much prefer these smallish, familiar, sea-green cinderblock wonders to the modern, colorful, open-plan shool buildings being built today.  I guess the powers of nostalgia are strong.

Hathaway’s: Photo #118

Randy and I met for lunch in the Carew Tower, where he works, at Hathaway’s – a very old diner complete with waitresses who seem to be stuck in time.  The atmosphere was very sweet and nostalgic, which is good, because the food was nothing to write home about. We’ll have to try breakfast sometime, which [...]

Time Travel Tuesday
Who says you always have to time-travel far into the past?  Today I’m reliving last week’s trip with Kara to the Lebanon Quilt show.  I am increasingly drawn into the quilting world and I’m taking Kara with me. 
 
I bought this adorable pouch made from an antique quilt from an adorable little antique man who [...]

But No Elephants!

My sister, Kelli, was digging through our old books the other day and found one I had completely fogotten about until I saw it again.  It may be my favorite kids book ever.  But No Elephants by Jerry Smath is about an old woman who is a sucker for the local traveling animal salesman (there’s [...]

Welcome to Time Travel Tuesday!
 

Valentine’s Day and I have never had a really close relationship.  Sometimes I’ve liked it and sometimes I’ve thought it was too sentimental and sappy.  I go back and forth, but generally I feel pretty luke warm about the whole occasion.  I do love the color red though, so sometimes that [...]

When I Grow Up

The many careers I once aspired to and why the dream is no longer alive:

Farmer – At age 3 my love of overalls lead me to believe I was fated to be a farmer.  This all ended when we drove through miles of pig farms in Iowa and I caught a whiff of what that [...]
