He was in the Navy. His name was William, and one of the jokes he (reportedly) would often tell is that when the commanders on the the ship would give the order "Fire at Will" he would dive for cover. I can see a strong resemblance between him and my uncle Joe, the youngest of his children.

Last week I was given some knitted dishcloths as a thank you for helping a friend out. It got me thinking that I could make some, only crocheted. Many years ago I tried using a crocheted dish cloth, but hated it as the knife points would go right through and poke me. So I noodled around and saw a video and whipped this up. It's not bad for my first one, and will get better (and straighter edges!).

I remember what happened to us when we had our starter house built. To save money, we did all the interior painting and finishing of the flooring. One day, after a full day of work, we arrived at the house and began painting the wall of the living room. It was nearing time to stop and with one wall left to paint. We were tired and loopy, but elated about our first home. I had a little paint left and we decided to let go and do something we'd never do - draw a picture on the wall. It would be painted over with the same color paint, so what's the harm? I drew a pastoral scene with rolling hills and trees. We laughed, remarked that it might be nice to have a mural on that wall someday, and left for a late dinner. The next evening, it was time to finish the paint job in that room. I painted the wall covering yesterday's drawing, so I thought. As I stood back - Horrors! - yesterday's drawing shone through. The paint was double thick over the brush stokes for the drawing and single thickness over the remainder of the wall. The dang drawing stood out when viewed from the side. Three coasts of paint later, it faded enough to pass but I could still see a faint outline of the drawing when viewed at a particular angle. Was I glad I had not put a profanity there.

That photo of your GS is very symbolic, Glenda...as in a young sapling of the flora variety and a young sapling of the humankind. Now both have grown into larger, healthy varieties. ;-) Did your son mean it to be or was it just a serendipitous occurrence?

anne, thanks for the kind comments. Son was taking a photography class at that time and used GS in some great photos.

It's a great photo! I hope you both have a hard copy stored away and/or framed. That's the kind of photograph that Life magazine and others of that genre were so popular for. My compliments to your son...as well as your photographic GS. I'm sure your son passed the photography course with flying colors. He has a wonderfully artistic "eye". That photo is truly a treasure!

kat, I did send Parke's comments and he replied that it sounded great, if he can get the "subject" to agree. You know teenagers.
