Rosie’s Bar was a homey place, they say. Gone now, but not forgotten.

A beautiful Mardi Gras costume.There is a bit of trivia related to beauty. Caligynephobia is the fear of beautiful women.
The Blues Brothers and the famous Blue Dog from The Blue Dog Cafe.
I think his innocence is what appeals to us.
To have a gate like this is to state your individuality.
A block from a crazy quilt. Keeping warm while rescuing scraps of cloth to become a work of art. Now that is an accomplishment.
Glass so beautiful you feel like you could swim in it.
I like portraits because they make you curious about what is going on in that persons mind, setting, personal space. They evoke wonder. I sometimes wish that I could paint, or play beautiful music. But, its enough to look and listen.

Hi Mary — I see it was your birthday last week. I want to wish you a happy belated birthday. It seems like you’ve reached a milestone. Congratulations from me & Jimmy. Love the pictures above, especially the one of the glass that makes you feel you could swim in it. I have to agree. It certainly does! It is just lovely.
Thanks, Ginnie!
There is just nothing one can do about a birthday. It is so nice to hear from you.
Hugs,
Mary
