dear dear sweet loving God

my heart so heavy

thank you for another day

i am a big time picture
kind of person
especially when in
black and white
i have a huge plastic tub
that holds all
i after a while
continued to take pictures
with disposable camaras
and stopped putting them in albums
after i took the battery out of them
i would get them developed
just put them in the tub
because so many needed to be put in books
i now decided to find the perfect piece
i did
a strong wicker basket at Burlington's as my
daughter was making an exchange i was
browsing and came across it
my thought process goes as such
what good is it stored
and i faced it toooooo many to be put
in albums and the ones i did manage to
into books they aged poopy the plastics
used back in the 80's became very brittle
so the point

i am having the pictures put in this beautifully lined
basket and when you lift the wicker lid
a chain is anchored to hold it open
without flopping down
again point

it is a hell of a job but going through them
not enough boxes of tissues around the house
oh a do over
that's what it feels like
so its purpose is to be a decorative piece
with a precious function when my family comes over they can
reach in
pull out a picture or pictures
and take us back in time

so, this is the next project i am doing
and who better with then my daughters

i couldn't at many times
the tears
i walk away
to do it again

memories

someone who cares

"love not just to love
but to know they are loved
by you"
