Ulna held still for only a moment. Her shoes were killing her. She couldn't wait to get inside and have a nice soak. But things would change quickly and the afternoon went another way.

Velda grew to hate squirrels very quickly. Just after the camera clicked, one scurried from the bush and went exploring. She had to throw away her hose.

Cyril Ritchard and Janice Rule. Not a really famous musical I admit. The thing that makes this album a keeper is.....did you see it? The cartoon is by Jack Davis. You didn't notice did you? Well, next time pay attention!

This is a kind of Easter/Valentine card from AJ. This is a re-run as I couldn't find any more about bunnies or eggs for today.

The Story Behind the Photograph - Empty, except for...

“If you’re ever out my way, stop by,” he said, knowing it was an empty invitation. “I’ll sure do that,” she said, not meaning it at all. But he waited. The days and nights closed in on him until his last breath slipped out between the moon and the howl of a coyote. “Life is too short,” he thought, as transparency overtook him. “Life is too…” She remembered him between the ticks of the tall clock in the hall. And then she forgot.

The Story Behind The Photograph - Chairiana

Things ain't what they used to be. (In fact, they never was.) The Profile (more than you really wanted to know) is here.

It was not turning out a good day for Chairiana Hindsite. Her new husband Clovis O’Yukski had promised her a train trip to Dirtpile City for their honeymoon. Little did she know the trip would be on a freighter pulling 104 oil-tank cars. Posing for the wedding pictures is a real challenge on a moving train, especially if the photographer is not aboard the same train. Newly weds Clovis and Chairiana had to run to catch the freighter as it passed the farm. Clovis explained that he got a big discount on the tickets if they boarded that way. The photographer didn’t have a ticket. Clovis was surprised to find that the train did not stop at DirtPile City either. They rode on to Saskatoon where they were able to disembark. Chairiana lost one shoe. Not having packed for the climate, Chairiana and Clovis were taken in by a kindly homeless man with a grocery cart. Clovis found temporary work the very next day, ghost-writing for Craig Moxie and his Mysteriously Accurate Blog. (It is Mysterious because Craig seems to know nothing about any of this.) The honeymooners soon caught a grain freighter back to Dirtpile city where they disembarked. Chairiana lost the other shoe which enabled her to walk much better. The photographer, Helmundt Sock, a close personal relative and fireman, had taken the 627 roll of wedding pictures to Tutti’s Italian Ristoranti and One-Stop-Photoshop Drop. At Tutti’s where the motto is “A day without pasta makes your tummy feel nasta” the film was processed and finished by November. Clovis picked them up and he with Chariana and their three children had a happy afternoon sorting through them and giggling at the results. (By this time, Clovis was giggling a lot.) They glued them into a black paged photo album along with pictures of their pet chinchilla and the large rock out behind the trailer. Oh, the fun.

This one was 6.77 for the 1.5 litre bottle. It was a bargain. I will look for it again.
