From chaps with a trophy to the Peace Corps

I do have children and grandchildren who took part in competitive sports...and in middle school at least they got trophies. They've since thrown them away, as they were plastic anyway.

This week's prompt photo for Sepia Saturday looks great for bicycling folks.

My son and daughter-in-law in Tampa/St. Pete FL are big ice hockey fans of the Tampa Bay Lightnings. So there's a cup worth taking a photo of!  They won their second Stanley Cup in 2020, the first US team to win during the pandemic...without fans in the stands!

And when I went trolling for old photos of my family, I found these, which aren't at all on this theme. But it won't be the first time I wandered off the theme.

My youngest (on l.) graduated from college in 2001, then spent the next 2 years in the Peace Corps. Some of that time he was in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, staying with this family and helping with various community projects.

He had already become vegetarian in college, so I hope he found enough nutrition in the meals Mrs. Sterling prepared for this family. Apparently they would be able to add the new addition to their house thanks to the room they rented to the Peace Corps volunteer...my son. He reported an abundance of Avocados on the tree in the yard, which he could just pluck off to eat.

Well, that's about as far from this Sepia Saturday as you can get!

Kiss the Earth with your feet.
Print on Earth your love and happiness.
Earth will be safe
when we feel in us enough safety.
