Throwback Thursday ABBA

What ABBA songs do you know? Mamma Mia? Money, Money, Money? Lay All Your Love on Me?

A fun night with good friends and the Star!

ABBA concert nostalgia with Waterloo, Fernando and Dancing Queen.

The original group’s bass guitarist Mike Watson played tonight- he is the backward facing Napoleon on ABBA’s Waterloo 1974 album cover!

We got to meet the star of the show prior to the concert. Very exciting

Here’s an interview with Matilda Lindell of course she donned a fabulous blonde wig for the performance. People were dancing in the aisles.

Right front- Matilda star of the ABBA concert

Duquesne Incline Ride at Night

Duquesne Incline since 1877

Blurry iPhone pics but you get a sense of our adventure. It was Michael’s idea to ride it at night!

It’s Been a While

Tuesday morning on the way to breakfast with my friend Vincie, spotted this couch on the curb. I pulled over in the next block, got out and took the photo.

She asked me what’s with the attraction of photographing the abandoned furniture? These discards?

It’s hard to explain in words but I can tell you they make me feel something.

I think if the furniture could speak, there would be many stories.

I realize they are inanimate objects, unwanted and worn out.

They can’t speak so I have to use my imagination of what they have seen and endured.

Pittsburgh and Columbus have the most couches at the curbs. Chairs, too.
