This picture is for the heading “old” in my photo scavenger hunt challenge. It’s my mother’s doll. My mother died dancing, celebrating my father’s 90th birthday. She was wearing her sparkly dress, her silver dancing shoes and she looked like a “million bucks.” After the Anniversary Waltz and a fast jive number, she was just […]
I was scouting about for another picture in my photo scavenger hunt challenge, when I walked past the old Chicken Deli now re-named People’s Chicken. Now Chicken Deli was an institution on Mt. Pleasant for probably more than 30 years. It used to host “The Climax Jazz Band” and a number of other iconic entertainers.
I am now in a scavenger hunt in my photography group. We have a month to take 18 pictures under various headings. This picture is for the heading “random.” OK it is not lace, or knitting and it maybe isn’t even pretty; but I spent over an hour with my tripod and even spent some
I think that either term applies – Hollowe’en because we hollow out the pumpkins for the “weens” – the wee wains and that’s pretty exciting. It’s a lot of fun to see the children get dressed up and for many adults – it’s fun to be children again and get dressed up. I don’t actually go

I mean no disrespect. I know that cemeteries have a lot of souls in them; but I was walking over to a cemetery that is close to me, to take pictures of their lovely rose gardens, only to find that they had cut back all the rose canes to the requisite 6″ – needless to say there
I’m just back from Woodstock, which I have re-named WOWstock because of the fabulous time we had there. First the organizers of the festival are just the nicest people – friendly, helpful and appreciative!! Secondly the show has a real “down home” feel about it. It feels like a festival for fleece. There were fleeces
OK my apologies if you are that 1%, this blog maybe isn’t for you…..But if you do fall into that 1% category, I could use a small donation – a few thousand would work – more if you are so inclined and love knitting…honest, no questions asked, just leave a comment, where you may be contacted
Another mini challenge – this time it is to list one “thing or one person that has made a huge impact on your life”….. This took a lot of thought because a lot of events and a lot of people have influenced me through my life; however, one short very casual conversation which could be
