Sharing with Sepia Saturday this week. Theme is "On the street." Yes that little guy is indeed sitting on a curb!

Hope you'll check out other's who post at Sepia Saturday! There aren't all that many of us regulars...but we'd always welcome anyone who wants to share old photos, on or off the weekly theme! (I admit to being off-topic more than I'm on, but they haven't thrown me out yet!)
And for anyone who read my blog this last week, yesterday I went to the dentist and she made me a new tooth out of what was left from the broken off part. It looks very nice, and shows how others in my face have stains...shouldn't drink coffee I guess. But in a few weeks she said I could get those teeth fixed the same way. Whoopee. At least a temporary fix.

What is called discretion in men is called cunning in animals.

DeleteThe Eiffel Tower one is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures!
ReplyDeleteOf course I love your opening photo and I'm a bit envious that I don't have the original in my collection! That kid looks like he knows how to play and the dog probably sings too. Recently as I was out and about in Asheville I noticed that almost everyone seated is looking at their smart phone, or if they are walking, they are either looking at it or have ear buds on and are talking to invisible friends. The world may be more connected electronically but the old manner of greeting and talking to people on the street has disappeared. Glad to read your dentist could help you.
ReplyDeleteGood collection for the theme. I did not post this week as nothing came to mind to do with the theme. Working on some other family history stuff at the moment for which alas there are no photos...
