Anybody seen my car?

Had one of those moments today. Went to see a client, came out and drove to the other end of the parking lot to go to the Safeway.

With very little effort he mounted the stools like a pro.  Acting as though IContinue reading “Saturday morning kitchen discovery – Eyes of a child”

Old pictures can be new treasures. Photography gems.

We all have pictures that we haven’t seen in years – wonderful pictures tucked away in boxes or plastic sleeves – out of sight – out of mind – aging. The other day when I was looking for a new picture for my Face Book profile I came upon an old picture of me andContinue reading “Old pictures can be new treasures. Photography gems.”
