Corners of Mom's (and Dad's) home






I was out at my Mom's today. I took my camera with me because every time I don't I wish I had it. I was there alone for about half an hour because she wasn't back from town yet-so I went around taking photos of 'stuff'. I'm thinking about making her a 'corners of my home' book. So when she got home-naturally I lied (must be going back to my days of youth)-when she asked me why I had my camera. I say-Oh, I thought I might take some pictures later today. And when I left I said-Well, I guess I didn't get any pictures taken. Oh, well.

So this evening when I thought I'd put some photos on the blog I thought I'd better give her a call and ask her if she minded. So I confessed that I had taken pics before she got home and-can I put some on the blog? She says-Oh yeah, I guess. What did you take pictures of? And I say-Oh, just stuff. So, she didn't really ask questions and I guess it doesn't really matter if she suspects that I'll be making her a book.

Are you still with me???

Anyhow-I just wanted to say-Local friends, I don't take my camera in your home and secretly take pictures of your stuff. I promise. Wink wink. No really-I promise!☺

How nice that you are doing that for her. I'm impressed that her stuff was so neat and she did not know you were going to take pictures!

I know-Mom's pretty tidy person. Too bad her offspring wasn't!

Very nice, Holly. She will be so tickled with a book. Hey, Mother's Day is coming up. That would be a great gift.
