Something Old. Something New.

My husband gave me this Letter necklace for my very first Mother’s Day. I wore it everyday when I went to work to remind me of her. Last week she asked if she could have it. It is now hers to keep.

Lots of Eye Candy:

Dear ones at home…old letters written from my grandmother to her family after she married & moved away with my grandfather. They all started with ‘Dear ones at home’… My mom gave them to me, so they’re new to me. I am snuggled up ready to read through them. These are from the early 1930’s & into the 40’s. There are also a few letters my mom wrote home to her parents after she married & moved away.

this picture is of my 6 year old son and my father-n-law. we moved home to florida last summer. one of the main reasons we felt it was so important to move back THEN was my father-n-law is living with Alzheimers. it has been heartbreaking to watch this disease take over his mind. i love this image because you can see the love that he still feels for my son. it is all over his face. and i know one day this picture will be a treasure for my son. this was one of those moments i didn’t “ask” for, but am so glad i have now forever.

Something Old, Something New

I had the pleasure of shooting my best friend’s senior portraits yesterday in the old town of Winter Garden. She’s (almost) a new graduate, and we certainly had fun incorporating the old, vintage theme and props into the session. Isn’t she just the perfect model?! Such a natural!

Old habits. New place. I know it is odd, but my son ever since we could crawl has had a fascination with manhole covers. Don’t worry he often gets clean afterwards 😉

Week 46 ~ Honoring Pappy

The My Four Hens Project 52 theme this week is Something Old or Something New. Since last Sunday was Veteran’s Day, Dominic was part of a Veteran’s Day performance at his school this week where all of the third graders sang patriotic songs while the kindergartners waved flags. It made me cry several times. I’ve been thinking a lot about my Pappy. Pappy was my mother’s father and died when I was 20 years old. I wish he could’ve met my children, I wish I could hug him one more time. There is something about grandparents when you are a teenager… you take them for granted. You think of them as being old. You don’t realize until you’ve had your own children how valuable they are… how many stories they hold in their hearts, how much you can learn about your parents and yourself, how much life and vibrance and wisdom they contain.
I’m sharing Pappy’s old WWII Army photo which hangs on my mom’s wall. He was a medic and served in the South Pacific. Both my mom and my aunt said he wouldn’t talk much about that time. I can’t even imagine the horrors he saw being on the front lines. He was captured and was a prisoner of war. I think he was held captive and escaped after a few days, but he would not speak of his time as a POW either.
Wasn’t he a handsome soldier? He had curly red hair and a cleft chin. What a dashing young man. Do me a favor… if you have grandparents in your life, ask them to tell you a story and write it down. Don’t let their legacy ever be forgotten.

Recently our phone broke so my father pulled this old phone out of the cupboard and said we could borrow it. I was delighted to learn it was the phone from the first house I ever lived in 40 years ago. Mum and dad have moved 8 times since that house, and dad has kept this phone every move! It certainly was a new experience for Lucy to make a phone call using this old phone – she even had to ask me what I meant when told her to dial the number!

Something Old & Something New

We have been members of our local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) or “Crop Share” for 4 years now. Each year a unique vegetable pops into our share. Sometimes I give it away to one more adventurous than I, but last week my sister-in-law encouraged me to “try it”. So, here sits celeriac, my “new” veggie beside an old standby, carrots – both peeled, diced, sautéd and popped into chicken noodle soup – the old and new mingling together in perfect yumminess. 🙂

My daughter modeling a Y-style pearl necklace that was given to me by my grandmother. I wanted to shoot this because just this past week my Grandmother was diagnosed with Leukemia. She is so important to me. It’s horrible being so far from home. I know I have limited time with my grandmother and these pearls mean more to me now than ever. They are something I will pass on to my daughter when she is older. A precious heirloom from a precious and brave woman. I hope I can live half the life of faith and strength that my grandmother has lived. I am not ready to let her go. 🙁

My sweet little 4 year old with a photo of me at 4 years old. In 1984…not to say that I am old but I do feel it some days. 🙂 It was definitely fun to peek through some old pictures trying to find just the right one today.

Something Old, Something New

Something Old: The Bible (the oldest book!)
Something New: New Reader.

I am so thankful to my child’s worship leaders who are helping develop my little boy’s love for God. He is soaking up all the lessons and asking so many questions! Tonight, I walked into his room and found him looking for all his Kindergarten sight words in the Bible and trying to read his memory verse. I am overwhelmed with JOY!
