What Charlie Found for the Blog

Look what Charlie spotted today.

He said to his mom that I’d love this!

Laura took the photo but Charlie found the abandoned furniture and he thought of me. A team effort.

I really appreciate the contribution to the blog today cause am feeling a strong lag from the six hour time difference.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
How lovely are your branches!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
How lovely are your branches!
Not only green in summer’s heat,
But also winter’s snow and sleet.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How lovely are your branches!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
Of all the trees most lovely;
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
Of all the trees most lovely.
Each year you bring to us delight
With brightly shining Christmas light!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
Of all the trees most lovely.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
We learn from all your beauty;
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
We learn from all your beauty.
Your bright green leaves with festive cheer,
Give hope and strength throughout the year.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
We learn from all your beauty.

Look What Mary Found!

At Bleecker and Morton Streets in NYC Monday, today. Mary texted me this discarded futon pic. Adding it to the abandoned furniture file. Thanks Mary. Wonder what I’ll blog tomorrow?

A Well Loved Chair on the Curb

Well loved by a cat, that is.

Once again Laura wouldn’t drive around the block so I could photograph this subject. We all walked back with the kids cause it was only a few blocks away from home. It was still there on the sidewalk.

Wasted Time – Guest Blog

My granddaughter Maura sent me this photo tonight- she’s on her way back from vacation.

Family Express Gas Station Warsaw Indiana

I love that she saw the clock in the garbage and took a pic and sent it to me.

Biking Down an Alley

Some streets in the city have alley between them. It’s the third definition I’m talking about

a narrow street : especially : a thoroughfare through the middle of a block giving access to the rear of lots or buildings”

There are garages and the garbage cans set out for pick up. Not a lot of traffic. We we walking to a friends house to play and we went into their backyard via the alley. Charlie biked ahead of us.

What I Found This Afternoon

It was a beautiful day. Day one of seriously trying to walk a good two miles. Everyday? that’s the plan. Laura said “No browsing or stopping to take a photograph! No dead couches!!!”

But there I was, pushing a stroller with my nine month old grandson Roy. And here’s what I found a few blocks after I started my walk. I could not resist.

Abandoned furniture, ready for pick-up. A couch AND a love seat.
