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.

In those days, we had at least three different family gatherings- First- at either my cousin’s or her mother’s home  for the Kern side of the family.  Second- at my husband’s sister’s home.   Third- the one in our home on Christmas Day  with our 3 kids (youngest not yet born), my brother and my parents. 3. I was without water for two days this week;  thankfully I had filled all available containers with water,  and had done all my laundry  before Tuesday the 7th when I discovered water pipes had frozen.   4. I am blessed that I had the money  to pay for a plumber to thaw out the pipes.   And I’m grateful for a well-heated home and food to eat. 5. One of my favorite people came to have coffee with me today.   She always s...
