Eye on the Time

My teacher friend Jen S. stopped by for tea snd conversation after school, Thursday afternoon. Towards the end of our visit, she checked the time on her watch

Wow, I said. Now those are big and bold numerals.

Jen said she often looks at her watch and it’s 1:11, 2:22, 3:33, 4:44, 5:55

We’ve got to “Spring forward” for Daylight Savings Time tonight. We will miss the lost hour for a few days.

Master Clock Repair

Meet Michael Gainey. Master Clock Repair Columbus Ohio.

I haven’t photographed many People at Work during the Pandemic. It was nice to be welcomed and shown Mr. Gainey’s workbench and tools he uses to fix all kinds of clocks. More than 44,000 clocks have been repaired!!! Do you have a family clock that’s been passed down through generations?

He told me his story, how he got into the business. His son works alongside him, repairing clocks, too. I had made an appointment to stop on our way home to Pittsburgh after Anna’s HS graduation weekend.
Laura had a musical cuckoo clock, resting in a box, that needed to be fixed. We’d bought it in the German Black Forest about 35 years ago. I know it’s in good hands.

Daily News Building New York City

Wednesday my sister and were walking to Grand Central Terminal Market to purchase LiLac chocolate as a hostess gift. We were headed to dinner at our cousin’s. Here’s the Daily News Building built in 1929 in the Art Deco style. Here’s the giant rotating globe in the lobby. Two photos of Christopher Reeve from filming the Superman movies are shown below.

Same Shirt, Same Couch- 38+ years Difference

My son Mark, (uncle to Charlie) on the left holding his brother Matthew, Philadelphia Christmas 1980.

My grandson Charlie on the right, holding “Henny” Pittsburgh, January 2019.

(Yes, the couch used to be jewel red)

The brand of shirt was Health-Tex and I’d say it held up quite well. Who knows why I saved it.

Going to Look at My Wrist Instead of My Phone

Going to look at my wrist instead of my phone. After more than three years of not wearing a watch, I’m returning to wearing one. Needed two hands to make it glow. I was able to take this photo by using the 3 second timer and propping the phone up in a wooden iPad holder while I pushed the watch stem to make it glow. Just a basic generic watch. I think there are watches somewhere the house that need a battery but I wanted something reliable, quickly. Are you a phone, watch or wall clock checker?

Or none of the above.

Happy Birthday Lala


You were one not so long ago.


Now you’re mom to a one year old!

Happy Happy Birthday to you Laura. 

You make life nice. 

Love,

Your Mom

P.S. Refer to last year’s birthday post to see how time flies. 

(It’s something old people say to younger people and then suddenly you experience it.)
