Nonnie's Photo A Day: Nostalgia Collage

NOSTALGIA… Sweet Pea,
Hotel Taft, Dallas mural,
eggs & grandfather’s home

I remember the sweet, soft smell of Sweet pea talcum powder.  
I picture the apartment bathroom where the talc sat near the tub.

The building’s mural was admired
As my husband and I walked around 
my uncle’s Dallas neighborhood.

Our high school senior class stayed 
in the Hotel Taft during our senior trip to New York and 
Washington D.C.

The home pictured here is the way the home looked 
when  my great-grandfather was still alive.

The easter eggs- 
this was the last time 
my youngest granddaughter dyed eggs with me. 
She considers herself too old to do it now.

Joining others (my first time)
for Nostalgia


Hoosier Quote about Nostalgia:
"Who recalls when folks got along without something
if it cost too much."

A nice collection of images and words. I reminds me of the template poem for Where I'm From: http://www.looseleafnotes.com/2005/04/where-im-from/

Pondering about My Blog

I've been through quite a bit these past months that I haven't posted.  First, packing and moving and then unpacking . The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o

Have humans sat here? Not recently, I think. Perhaps a snow couple rested for a while, and the shadowy remnants of them remain. more Cool Clicks
