Giddy Up

First, I love this paper from my Studio Calico kit.

And this photo of moi just happened to land

on top of when it was laid on my desk

and I went hmmmm...

(Just a whiney aside: I glanced at the back of the paper briefly,

and then flipped it back. As I was putting the page in my

album it stuck out of the page protector.

It seems that they make a WHOLE page in a pattern

and put the strip on the flip side.

There is no way to trim it off now)

Anyhoo, another original photo is now "safe" from

being rumpled and crushed.

So that baby in the carriage is me.

And I look like I'm ready to ride and have the wind

blow my hair back.

That's half of my gram visiting with her neighbor Mrs. Woodring

(if she had a first name I never knew it).

Gram is also decked out. I can tell by the white sandals.

And it appears Mrs. Woodring is standing behind the door while chatting.

So many interesting details.

In Gram's 'hood, porches were on the side or back of the house

and the grownups would sit outside in the cool of the night

visiting while watching us kids catch fireflies

 and put them in a jar with grass.

I guess the grass was comforting to the firefly.

(ooooo NEED to find a photo to go with that journaling).
