Autumn in the Trails Behind His House -Guest Blog
These photographs were taken by my grandson Jack, who is 14 and a high school freshman.
He told me recently he’d like to get into photography.
My advice to him was to take a lot of pictures, study them and look for the good light.
I thought he captured the feel of Autumn quite nicely.
It’s Your Birthday!
Have a great day!

Throwback Thursday on Thanksgiving
That’s a lot of th in the title today.
There’s much to be grateful for as a daily practice, not limited to Thanksgiving.
I am paying tribute and expressing gratitude for good parents. I found this photo today and remembered our Thanksgivings together. And apart. An inscription of gratitude for their friendship was on the back of the photo, written by friends Ethel and Coleman Ives who must have mailed them the photo. I believe it’s taken in New Haven, Connecticut.
Once, when I was missing my mother snd father so strongly, in the depths of grief, a counselor advised me to do for others what my parents did for me.
My parents set a good example of how to be loving and caring humans which I’ve tried to pass on to my own family. ❤️
Happy Birthday to you

Happy 17th Birthday dear Anna.
I remember the day you were born here in Pittsburgh, just before dawn.
The first grandchild. I went to school that morning and was so excited. Everyone at school was happy for our family.
Love, FF Ruthie
