Day One: Coffee Shop
I don’t get out often, being a caretaker. Thankfully, I have created a paradise for myself at home. (OK, my paradise is a MESS right now, but I’m fine with that.) This is my coffee shop. A photo challenge by Cassia Elisabeth.
Photo Challenge
I have taken up a ten day photo challenge starting August 1st hosted by: Cassia Elizabeth Her blog is called a Little Bit of Everything and it is a lovely place. The picture prompts are intriguing in their one word simplicity and I’m excited to get it going! I’m going to keep the prompts a…
Sunday Share: A Witty Lens
First of all: IF I ASKED YOU ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO IF YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO LET ME SHARE YOUR BLOG, AND THEN NEVER SHARED IT, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I have this sinking feeling that I forgot about some’s share. I have been able to get posting really ahead of time, which makes…
August, 1940: Part Two
Here is Part One: August, 1940: The Trip Here is something not to be missed while Babu is on vacation with Jakey in Amsterdam, NY and staying with Ann and Paul: Sunday, August 11th, 1940 We slept late and attended 12 o’clock mass at the Shrine of Auriesville. After dinner we went swimming again but…
Sunday Share: My Own Private Lilliput
I have been following Subatomic Tourism’s blog for quite a while. I make a little pit stop, enjoy my time, and go about my day with a smile. It’s a curious little blog. It’s certainly different and it will be possibly difficult to explain why I like it, but I absolutely love it. Some of…
July, 1940
I love when I get to write about the month I am currently in. When I read something like: Cookie and I lolled around with cooling drinks on our front porch in the bright moonlight. I can say to myself, wow, that sounds nice. What’s even crazier, is that I can go out on the…
June, 1940: Taunton
I’m not sure if I shared with you that the choir Babu is a part of had a trip planned around a concert in Taunton, MA. It looked as if Babu would not be able to attend due to her attendance at rehearsals: Monday, June 24th, 1940 I don’t think I can go to Taunton…
June, 1940
I’ve written a lot recently about a heartbreaking, but temporary, rift between Babu and Jake in the middle of 1940 but the crux of it was really surrounding the Nee-Wah trip to Brookside Campground in Chester, MA. These girls always get into trouble on this trip. Check out this passage if you don’t remember 😉…
Retro Wednesday: The Springfield Airport
Leave our home and head to the top of Bonneville. Take a left and go down Fairview which shifts onto Abbey Memorial. Pass the cemetery and Szot Park and come to the lights. Take a right then a quick left, unless you want some Papa John’s. You are in what my husband and I and…
Back to June, 1939
Guess what?!?! I also missed a bunch of images that go along with June, 1939 so I cannot help but to splatter those up here as well in tandem with their text. (Man I love when the diary entry and the images collide!) Sunday, June 4th, 1939 It broke today raining and we almost didn’t…
Back to July, 1939: Vintage Images
As it is probably clear to see, I have been spending a lot more time on this project and maybe what is not as clear as the posts is all the work I have been putting into the organization of the archive. Today was especially rough. My eyes actually hurt from looking at alllll the…
