Just some old photos

 Sepia Saturday

My sister and her daughter in 1974, living in a log cabin in woods near Livingston TN. No running water or electricity. The great push for Floridian hippies to go "back to the land."

I'm sure Rev. Fred Rogers was a cousin, in spirit if not in blood.

Thanks for hosting, Eileen!

The water

 Jeff Webb flew a photographing drone over Burnett Reservoir, the source of water for Asheville and Black Mountain NC.

It's really impossible for regular people to ever see the reservoir. Even on the Blue Ridge Parkway, which circles above the watershed, there is no parking allowed where any drainage could go toward the reservoir.

A view from along the parkway several years ago, where we just slowed down and didn't park.

Celebrate life

 
Yes, my son Russ and his family will be attending several World Cup matches, in Atlanta and Philadelphia in the next month.

Today's the birthday of my beautiful daughter-in-law, Michelle. She and my son, Russ recently went to NY city and attended a play "The Lost Boys."

I love Michelle's efforts for gun control and to elect better representatives in Ohio. And she has been mother to three wonderful young women, my granddaughters. 

Happy Birthday Michelle!

Such a sense of joy on the face of my daughter-in-law, Barbara! Caught in the background of another person in a photo!

What? I've posted this before? Well, that's what resistance is all about, resist, repeat, resist.
