Foto Friday #10


The only known existing photo of my paternal grandmother.

Lucille Hodge Bragg
(b. 1893  - d. 1956)

Photo ca. 1942. My best guess, since she is holding a grandchild, Patricia (b. 1942, d. 1988)

Six Word Saturday! (8/7/10)

My six words for today:

Digital scrapping is so much fun!!!


Oh my gosh, I discovered it day before yesterday and have spent hours downloading freebies and looking for more stuff. The entry just before this is the first layout I'm sharing. Go back here and take a look!

Foto Friday #9, 50th Anniversary

I know it's not Friday, but I started working on this yesterday and then scrapped it all today and started over. (That was a thinly veiled attempt at humor. "scrapped it". Heh.)

This is my best layout so far, I just started doing this a few days ago.




The photo was taken at my paternal great-grandparents' 50th anniversary, September 1911. (click for larger inage)

A dream is a wish your heart makes




In my own little corner,
In my own little chair,
I can be whatever I want to be.
On the wings of my fancy,
I can fly anywhere,
And the world will open its arms to me.







See that? Yes, up there. The little nook and the chair and the laptop and the peace and quiet. I want one of those and even though it's only a dream, I want one anyway.

In my little corner the dishes and the laundry are all done and put away. The house is clean. The dog is being entertained by someone else and I'm alone. Blissfully alone, to write, or to read, and to be undisturbed. The sun sifts in through the dormer window at just the right angle and it's neither too hot or too cool.

It's perfect.

A fabulous contest!
