Isn't She Lovely?

Remember Mawmaw from my Thanksgiving pictures?  Well, here she is around the time of her wedding . . .  and here's a link to her recent picture.    http://spccreative.smugmug.com/gallery/4550624_LCxaW#429560928_CxaLK

I've had this picture of her on my desk for several months because I wanted to try my hand at restoring it.   Here's the original and my current state (note I haven't said final yet)  Did all kinds of work on the edges first.  Then I realized that the proprtion was so long and skinny that we couldn't get a standard print out of it.  That's why I added the torn paper frame.  I'm not so sure I love the frame enough to leave it  -- or if I should just try to build out the edges from the original.  Any thoughts or suggestions?

Mawmaw

More Thanksgiving Blessings Revealed

This is my grandmother, Hannah!  She is nearly 93 years old, lives on her own, and is by far the most popular person at dominoes and at the Wal-Mart Coffee Clatch.   She's even the organizer of a new "walking group" in her hometown.  Why?  Probably because of the philosophy that has defined her life as long as I can remember.  "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."  And she has PLENTY to say!

Bet you thought that was Thumper's line .  Thumper learned it from Mawmaw when she fed him specially prepared salads on her back porch.

More fun with filters.  

When my nearly 92-year-old grandmother stops in the driveway to shoot baskets, it's a good thing to have  a camera nearby.    And yes -- once we cranked the goal low enough, she did score!

They taught me everything I know.  

My mother and grandmother are here visiting for the weekend.  They're  fixing pot roast and okra gumbo for Patrick's birthday dinner, and it smells absolutely delish.  

Dinner's at 7:00.    The wine is already uncorked.  C'mon in and stay a while.  There's always room for one more.

PS -- "There's always room for one more" is the best lesson they ever taught.
