on Saturday I took some time at the computer to gather pictures of flowers as I have been asked for some by a friend who wants to decorate her new space with a number of framed photos…
water lily and wasp at the park in 2011…
it was a lovely hour or so that I spent going through all the pictures taken in 2012 and 2013 and copying the flower shots into a folder… apparently, I really like morning glories, poppies and orchids… on Sunday we went through the 600 pictures that I had moved and she chose a hundred that will need to be sifted through…
after she left on Sunday I spent another hour or so doing the same thing with 2011 pictures… found another 500 or so… she has those now to sort through as well…
one of the things that I have found about writing posts for my blog is that I have taken the time to find pictures that have come to my mind as I write… some of them have been easy to find, and others have taken a bit of digging, and along the way I have discovered many pictures that I had completely forgotten about…
I have come across a number of my BS group… often when we go out for a special event we will have a picture taken of all of us… it is fun to remember where we were and what we were doing when the photos were taken… it has made me think I need to do some cross-filing by group as well as date…
birthday celebration November 2011…
tonight we had a good visit although it felt a bit poignant to me as we only have one more gathering before one of us leaves to work in another city… she will be returning home every other weekend but we won’t all be together on Monday nights for quite some time… we have done this before when one of us moved to the States for a few years but being on the phone isn’t the same as being in the same room…
so, now another half hour has gone by as I searched for just the right pictures to add into this post, lol…
the words to The Way We Were by Marvin Hamlisch have been running around in my head since last night’s Oscar performance by Barbra Streisand…
what a wonderful life I lead…
