I came across this photo on-line and it made me think of a client/photographer that I once provided cat-care for.
There was a wall very similar to this in her home and it was mesmerizing.
I loved it. How intriguing and all-encompassing that room was.

Every photo that meant something to her was displayed. I'll never forget it. I spent a lot of time cuddling her cat while taking in the beauty of all the pictures.I remember coming home and going straight to a box of old black and white photos I had on a shelf. I picked out my favorites and the next day bought a beautiful fabric board and displayed them in the office.
This was always my most treasured one.
I know I was blessed to be her daughter and she is always in my heart.
Today is the retired-guys' birthday. A milestone it is; the big 60. Plans are being made to celebrate his big day this weekend along with our grand-daughter, Gwynn's first birthday.
Should be lots of fun. I think he wants to go out tonight for a steak and beer so I'd better get presentable. No cooking....yah!
Have a great night.
hugs, Deb
Wish him a happy birthday for me! Mine was yesterday and my grandson's was today. We're 60 years apart. He just turned five, so that would make me... .Good thing math was never my strong suit.

ReplyDeleteBelated birthday wishes to 'the retired guy' - hope the dinner out was fun and the celebration one to remember. Did you take a b/w pic by chance to add to your collection?
Happy day - Mary
That wall is fascinating! I wish I had the courage to fill a wall like that. Your mom was beautiful, I have had cats since I was old enough to remember, love them:>) Happy birthday to your sweetie!
ReplyDeleteThat wall reminds me of the movie "The Matchmaker". The title character has a wall full of pictures of couples he'd brought together. When he realises he's having a heart attack, he has just enough strength to make it to a chair in front of the wall, so the last thing he sees is all the happy couples.
