Random Picture thread (non-soap)

Mother found this while going through some of the old family papers last week-- my great-grandparents' wedding announcement from about 1913!

Artemis, that is so cool! I love reading through old newspaper clippings. To read the way a wedding was reported in 1913 as compared to how it is reported now is really very interesting, don't you agree?

@Artemis I agree with earlene... fascinating... I mean, "the young couple are popular members of the younger set" just tickles my fancy all getout! Thank you so much for sharing!

We don't have a corresponding photo, but we googled "blue messaline gown from 1913” and got a pretty good idea of what her dress might have looked like. The pictures I found online were from mail order catalogues, but I wouldn't be surprised if she made it herself-- she could make anything.

This article appeared in The Evening Kansan Republican Mon Dec 5 1910. "little daughter Dorothy" is the mother of my 5 step-children who passed away in 1974. Can you just imagine? A thimble party?

I took a 3 hr drive around looking at towns in Mid-MASS and took a few pics.
I love old houses and fields.

In my house, I am the one who fixes all the broken toys. I think this bike is the biggest toy I've fixed so far. Nothing's drastic, just changing the tube. But it's good to keep my badge as "fixer of all things."

I looked out the window, looked up then down at the road and expected to see Cantore standing outside or Reed Timmer driving by.

I took a few pictures around the yard yesterday and today. First one is my luffa plant. If all the buds turn into luffas, I'm going to have a LOT of luffas. Second was some wildlife we noticed outside our back door this morning. And, since no one is using the garden this year, the landlord let the sunflowers go crazy. There's a large (and tall) patch of them. He left an open circle in the center of the patch and standing inside it during the day is an amazing sensation. There's a hum of bees, and birds chirping. As a matter of fact, can you find the bird in the last picture?

I found him! He's a little right and down a bit from dead center. Cool pics. Thanks for sharing.

Boy does that bird blend nicely with the stems. Lovely sunflower plants!

We are in Hawaii, so the photo ops abound! Here are a few:

Sea Turtle returning to the water after a brief sojourn on the sand where some joker decided a turtle would make a nice cairn, ignoring the signs to remain at least 30 feet away from all sea turtles. The rocks fell off with the first wave.

A long shot of Panalu'u Black Sand Beach

This Lagoon sits behind the Black Sand Beach (to the left of the above photographed spot.)

Close-up of the Water Lilies. I cannot resist water lillies.
