Amazingly, it’s envelopes!

12_march_2011_10_thirty_a_m

Yes, envelopes!  Who knew??

Big ones, about 6″ x 8″ (30 x 40 cm,) great for including loose 5x7s.

I wrote family and friends’ names on each correspondingly, then arranged ’em alphabetically in that cute box above.

I oughta patent this, eh?!  🙂

I need more envelopes, tho.  I have a LOT of friends and family!

Plus, all the house remodeling stuff!

Ooooo, I’m gonna have SO many great pre-digital photo posts for you guys!!

Hey, Jo Miffo — my lovely English penpal since 1994 — do you see YOUR envelope at the far bottom left ??!!

Now, let’s go on a reverse time lapse of my ingenius photo plan, shall we?

Excellent!

Wheeeeee…

My New Camera Sees — a poem in 55 words

Flash Fiction 55 | Posted by Jannie on 10 March 2011 @ 5:55 PM (57) Comments

purple_pansy_march_2011

My new camera sees into

the eyes and smile of a pansy

purple_pansy__crop

but not into universal mysteries, like

the secret of your red blood cells

 

whooosshing and stopping

whooosshing and stopping

whooosshing and stopping,

 

your traffic-light heart valves

conducting the symphony of love

you show me this and every day,

my boyfriend, my husband, my Jimmy.

Boyfriend_1991

Those are 55 “Friday Flash Fiction” words, for our G-Man.

Above: me and my boyfriend in Nova Scotia, Christmas 1991 — 2 months before our wedding.

He’s still my boyfriend!

And I still wear that lovely jacket once in a while!

🙂

The Child and her friend broke into dance at Hut’s Hamburgers Friday.

It’s funny to see them hanging out ’cause Kelly’s a super petite 9-year-old, and her pal at only 11 is already 5’4″!

(I’m 5′ 2 and 3/4″ tall.)

🙂

It’s lovely they enjoy each other so much.

Later at the friend’s house I captured these 3 with my new camera…

Lovely lovely love.

And their house is SO beautiful!  It was featured a couple years ago in “This Old House” magazine.

They have 4 kids — ages 11, 9, 7 and 4!!

Saturday I took a little lady to the bookstore…

(Did not BUY any books.  We use the library.)

This morning I started reorganizing some pre-digital pix — again!

I’m doing them really supergood this time!

You’re gonna be SO impressed with my organization — and the posts of the pix thereof!!

And…

Kelly_Erika_March_2011

Erika came over for a playdate chill session / sleepover last night.

(I’ve been informed the word “playdate” is “so five-year-old!”)

Well, that’s it!

Jim, Kelly and I are heading out soon on a hike, whooooohooooo.

Anything to say, ask or add?

With love, from Jannie

P.S. All pix are with my new cam.  Still trying to learn the settings.

but, Jimmy, I’m the queen of the world

because, my love, I have…

YOU!

That was 55 words for The G-Man.

I took the top 3 pix yesterday, and the others about 15 years ago, all of what I’ve dubbed “the castle.” 

Yes, it’s across from our neighborhood.

I have a feeling this will NOT be the last post on “the castle.”

Mysteries are unfolding.

Oh — my toe nails, you can’t really tell from the pic above but…

I DID beautify them with that paint
