Birthday Wishes to MOM

This week is Mom's birthday.  I find that I am becoming more like her every year.  I speak to total strangers, horde more than I care to, am getting a bit on the selfish side, remember birthdays of to many people and eccentric in many of the same ways.  (Don't ask my husband if this is a fact.)

We are what we are and there is history that makes it happen. 

Here's wishing you a great birthday memory of Mom or Grandma or Grandma Great.  We love you!

When Abandoned Becomes Art Deco

 Why is it that old stuff really hits the spot, when one tends to get old also.   Memories of yesteryear of many a Sunday visiting our grand parents.  It didn't take long to get bored while they chatted away. We went off exploring or played hide and seek around their old sheds.    These fun times come flooding back and are tender experiences.

 

An old rusty cement mixer reminds me of my Dad's abandoned one in the side yard on the old farm.  I couldn't resist taking photos of these when out of state last month.   They were better than modern art deco to me.
