Lettres de ma jeunesse - Connecticut July 1962

 

House Finch 

 Mama added this note, in pencil,  to Pa's letter:

Papa and J__ fixed the cellar drain and they have almost completed D____'s canoe - it looks "tremendous" as C ____would say - I say it looks pretty good. Always be at peace with God, little ones - that is the sum total of life!

Red-headed Woodpecker

Just messing around to see if I can get myself motivated to continue writing. I guess I've found the correct font for now. So that's pretty neat.  Puppy's Pop and I were at South Park yesterday and while he was flying his control line plane I was walking around an area used for disc golf and managed to get too many photos! It's difficult to decide which ones I like and will put on Facebook.

It’s discouraging

 Darn! I really have to get back to my blog. Not sure why I’ve not been tempted to continue writing on a regular basis. Maybe if I decide right now to write at least a little bit once a week that would suffice to get me back to writing. I don’t really have much to say so I thought I’d copy out some letters that I have received over the years from my father. Sometimes Ma used to add a PS after she got home from work. I was working as a waitress in NYC way back then. My younger sister, R, would write to us. Us was my older sister, P, with whom I shared an apartment in the summertime. I worked as a waitress in French restaurants to earn some money to buy my books for classes at The University of Connecticut. 

I wish some of the new doodads google has added to blogger would get out of my way! If I wanted them I would have chosen to use them myself. I don’t like being harassed by an on line app! So I guess I’ll quit for now.

Hells Bells - I've got to get back to my Blog

Back to the drawing board. Wow, it's been ages since I've felt like blogging. But this may be it for a while more. I've got to get my camera back into proper working order! That is a huge task for me!

What a mess . . .

 I have no idea how the computer has gotten so messed up but I'm am blaming Microsoft. It keeps trying to get me to download Xbox and other nonsense. I will continue to play with it and when I finally get really ticked off I may have to get in touch with our youngest to see if she can set things straight! 

                                                                                                                                                     Well at least I managed to get a photo here. So  I'll call it quits for today. I may just find the patience to work on my blog another day! Qui sait? I may have learned something again! Wow!

I think I'll do it again . . .

 What a wonderful way to end the day . . . Beauty is contagious . . . 

Quote:  The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express.   ______Bacon

Think I'll try to put a photo of an Eastern Bluebird . . .

 

It worked. I'm flabbergasted. Maybe I can get the hang of this once more.
