Today's photo a day prompt: "Chair" - This one reminds me of being at my Aunt Madeline's
28 Lester Avenue, Pawcatuck, CT.
When she had a stroke and had to move to a nursing home in 1984, my Godmother and Aunt, Joan Malaghan moved to that house. She has since moved to a little place called Edythe K. Richmond Homes. It's a little wierd, because it's right next door to where my Grandmother last lived on her own, but it's cute. Aunt Joan's grandson now lives at 28 Lester Avenue, with his wife and twin toddler boys. I wonder where those chairs went.... Note. NEVER sit on one of those metal chairs in the summer without a cushion :)
I don't think I can compile a whole blog around the subject, but here is the photo I posted for the challenge "on the floor" - a picture of Elizabeth's socks and sneakers and my sandals. The photo was taken this morning, but the "evidence" was left last night upon our return from our walk around our neighborhood to enjoy fireworks :) Normally on the floor is cat hair, dog fur, or is it cat fur and dog hair... and random bits of other normal parts of everyday life....
Now I am watching a movie I've not seen since BEFORE I became and English Major. wow - and cool.

One day last week I wrote to my dear friend Jess:
"Most of the time I feel as though I am pretty good at sucking all the good stuff out of life
These last few days I've bee feeling like life is sucking everything out of me." JBLM :) - I didn't even realize I was paraphrasing Thoreau :)
