Goompy


A sachet doll my mom got while she was in college, I believe.

This is Scary Harry, and he is the epitome of modesty.

Sturdy


Over 40 years ago, my mom worked for a company called Blesi-Evans.  She used to complain to the shipping and receiving clerk, "Little Jim", that her books and manuals were always falling over due to flimsy bookends.  So, being the crafty man he was, he took some odds and ends left over from the course of business and welded them together.  Ta Da!  The mother of all bookends.  Each one weighs almost 12 1/2 lbs.

Draw me like one of your French Snap-On tools pinup girls.

Droopy


The dog accidentally cut his tail the other day, so he had to wear the cone of shame until the bleeding stopped.

Safety


I'm safe behind my tree.  Your camera can't get me here.

Motherly


Edie would have been 74 years old today.  

She was mother hen to her neighborhood and had a passion for children everywhere.  Each summer she looked forward to Vacation Bible School at church.  She was also one of my childhood babysitters and another "mom" in our close-knit little church.

She didn't live to see me and her son get married, but I know she would have been pleased.

This flashback Friday image is from 2008.

Smart-alecky


I was looking for a good Throwback Thursday pic and came across this one of my mom from 2008, and snorted out loud.  It didn't work for the shoot at the time, but now I find it quite funny.

Rainy


Nature's spring rain art.

I don't post phone pics very often because the quality is so crappy compared to a DSLR, but it struck me funny that a spring storm would plaster these random bits of flotsam to the window.
