LOOKS LIKE THIS SEALS THE DEAL


 We've now been in CA for 4 months......and finally got 'the husband' to help tackle the job of putting up framed pictures.  We had a darkroom for years and did our own film processing.  Those days are in the past but he still enjoyed working with negatives and Photoshop, plus framing some memorabilia.  One is a handbill from a Flatt and Scruggs concert at Chicago's Orchestra Hall in 1963.  He and his roommate got to sit on the stage when the facility ran out of seats with ticket holders no place to sit.



Our home has a long hallway, one side will be music related and the other family.....




We have a ton of car photos too.....those will go in the man cave....how they will all fit is beyond my vision. So for now they are stacked up on the floor & bed in the guest room.  So far we are still speaking to each other.....more work begins shortly....let's see how long that lasts.  Home projects tend to generate disagreements in most households!!!

And finally here's your laugh or shriek of YUCK today. When we moved to NC I took a lot of photos at grocery stores of items that simply made me laugh, like pickled pigs feet.  I NEVER expected to see this item in the meat section here.....it wouldn't have been a surprise to see it in NC, but never here.....

Good to see that some of your cherished memories are going up on the walls. I hope it helps you to feel more at home.

That hallway is going to look so nice. "Works well with others" on your report card? Hopefully you're speaking. Challenges. And I just notices it says "chicken PAWS". That's a new term for sure. What does a cook do with chicken paws?

I am sure you are feeling much more settled with your photos in place. Those chicken feet are very popular within the asian community which is why you are seeing them in CA.
