    They are so adorable and so very childlike. I loved the colorful rainbow over the opening.

  Sepia Saturday challenges bloggers to dig into the past and share photos based on a visual prompt. This week we have a smiling couple with a shiny, sleek car. With that in mind I found these at the Library of Congress. Women's Suffrage Scout Car, 1913 Harris & Ewing, photographer.  WOMAN SUFFRAGE. SCOUT CAR . United States Washington D.C.

  Sepia Saturday has challenged bloggers with a photo of a man playing solitaire. Playing cards, solo or with others, is a fine pastime. I fondly remember my grandmother teaching me and my siblings to shuffle cards and play gin. An aunt tried to teach us poker. Bridge is a game that seems to have ended with my mother's generation. She still plays, but I never learned. (I do have one friend from high school who joined the high school bridge club. Now I wish I had.) Here's what I found while searching the Library of Congress archives. Opper, Frederick Burr, Artist.  McKinley has almost all the chips; - but the game is young, yet / F.Opper . , 1894.

Weekend Coffee Share

Graciously hosted by Natalie the Explorer, Weekend Coffee Share s a time for us to take a break out of our lives and enjoy some timely catching up with friends (old and new)! If we were having coffee, I'd get a skinny chai latte as the temps are comfortably lower.  I can't believe it, but I don't think I've been to my usual coffee purveyor for 3 full weeks. I'll go back, but it's good to know that I can kick some habits. Getting off of sweets is a much tougher nut to crack. If you think that I'm on a new platform, you're right. I've left WordPress because I didn't want to pay yet again for more image space. That got pricey. Google did me wrong, gravely wrong in 2011 when I was hacked, but I plan to back up a lot and keep my eyes open for a better home.  For now I'm here. Welcome. On Sunday morning I explored St. Ita's Catholic Church in Edgewater, a Chicago neighborhood. A friend tipped me off to it as she noticed the church photos I'...
