a look at pre War Japan..

an amazing look at  Japan and some vintage shots of Tokyo. From 1932 we have ‘Japan in Cherry Blossom Time’.

So much of what is right and beautiful about man has been obscured by his arrogant stupidity. What ‘we’ could have been without evil in the world, is beyond my wildest dreams.

Sebastian’s Voodoo

Sometimes I am totally taken aback by the shear abundance of talent and the scope of the imagination that abides in the world. This horrific view is both a nightmarish tale and at the same time a beautiful look at what puts humanity above all things.  My be challenging, but I think an end worth the trip. It seems fitting today as a memorial to all who struggle, either for our country or in some unknown world of oppression. Happy Memorial Day and be remindful and thankful!

 

 

 

My Grandson's 2nd Birthday Party

Today we celebrated my Grandson's Birthday; and of course we had a blast. As always, Grandpa and Great Grandma we one of the first to arrive.




"I love you guys this much!"



Here are the two Great Grandma's:

Jumping Castles are fun, especially with Grandma taking my picture:











Good Lord; me taking a picture of her, taking a picture of me; oh gadzs!



As always, he rakes in the presents and has a great cake:

Quote for the day!

’Everything is becoming science fiction. From the margins of an almost invisible literature has sprung the intact reality of the 20th century.’

a beautiful Sunday morning in….

….the Old Pueblo.

Neither of use can do much and we seldom stay out long, but some days are just to beautiful to waste and it’s good to get mom out of the house.

 

First stop was the Bristol Coffee Bus just around the corner from my house:

 

Next, we came upon some trains down at the yard:

What would a Sunday drive be without a jaunt through colorful South Tucson.

Ok, next we decide to be brave and head up Sentinel Peak, known locally as ‘A’ Mountain:

and here’s Grandma:

Next stop was the old train depot and downtown:

Hope you enjoyed our little tour and Grandma says “Bye Everyone”
