Captured Memories
a
a
I love pictures.
Photographs, Snapshots, Polaroids
Slides, Digitals, Kodachromes
Whatever.
It doesn't matter what you call them
a rose is a rose
and
They make me happy.
.........
Yellowed, torn, technicolor or orphaned
I love photographs
Some are wrapped in a story
date stamped & easy to read
but others
arrive tattered, clothed in black&white
dateless & without a story
the quiet souls of another generation
.........


Interesting pics...who is in captured memory #8? Am I going crazy or was there not a flashback post that was there and gone the other day?? No Dad has not explained the photo yet...but they are coming here to celebrate Dad's and Hannah's b-day today so we will talk to him then.

Ah, the PNE. That would explain the hat. She looked like she was such a fun loving person - I didn't really get to see that side of her because by the time I met her ... she was already a MOM!

ReplyDeletePhoto No. 10 is Cathy's christening day. When Cathy was born your mom and dad still lived in what later became their garage. When the house was complete your dad built a room over the garage ...accesable by stairs from the house...which became his office.
