Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! The Flat Creek walkway has clumps of debris still, and lots of sand and rocks on the flats across from the paved walk (which shows no damage from Hurricane Helene.) However as you walk further up the creek, you come to the mobile homes which survived, or didn't, the rising waters.

The ad with a child

 Sepia Saturday suggests some photos of children to me this week!

An English ad, which talks of Mackintosh's Toffee as being a sweet that's food and warmth...?

I've found some pictures of children, not in ads however.

Here Jane Adaams talks about growing up to some children. She promoted sex education and birth control, but we don't know what she's teaching here.

Seated, left to right: Caroline, Charles, and Mary (who became blind.) Standing, left to right Carrie, Laura, and Grace. This picture was taken in 1894. The Ingles family with Laura eventually writing the books which her daughter (not pictured) helped and may have changed some details, but we'll never know.

Today's quote:

“In every work of art something appears that does not previously exist, and so, by default, you work from what you know to what you don’t know.”

Ann Hamilton, artist, in essay titled “Making Not Knowing,” adapted from her 2005 commencement address at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. 



Today's art:


Mary Cassatt, Breakfast in Bed, 1897

And today is the first opportunity to boycott purchasing ANYTHING, to show the power of the consumers to those riding wildly over our welfare.

  3. My not-really-aunt would often bring me a bar of Macintosh Toffee on her almost weekly visits. While appreciated, I would have preferred chocolate. 😊
