Throwback Thursday. From my grandmother’s album. Durand, Illinois.


This is happening all over the city. It was a very exciting day!
The Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Department checking for lead pipes. Several houses on our street have to have their pipes replaced. We do not.
My grandson called the shovel and dump truck Mighty Machines (which is an educational Canadian Show about all types of vehicles (premiered in 1994) you can find episodes on YouTube.)




You know I have a collection of Urban Madonnas. This is a rusting unused mailbox.



(He’ll be three on the third of November)
Found by my sister Mary who sent this pic from NYC

You photograph your child/grandchild’s toy around the house, “doing” different activities. You can create a photo book and add some text. They will love it!
Meet Lyle.
I bought Lyle at the Carnegie Museum when grandson Charlie visited about 8 years ago. Charlie gave him his name Lyle.
Charlie is 11 now.


















I did it for granddaughter Prema’s (now 11) stuffed ballerina dragon, too but that’s another story


Who knew?
As the mounted police walked past our car they waved to my grandson in the back seat. It was such an unexpected scene and so kind of them to wave.
My granddaughter Prema photographed them and this is why one needs to keep the car windows clean !
