daddy's girl

where there is one, you will usually find the other.
she's definitely a daddy's girl

togetherness

this is a sculpture near the capitol mall in sacramento.

having always been fascinated by hands i stopped for a photo op.

something in the shaking of hands,

the holding of hands,

that seems togetherness like.

"we're in this together."

"let's get together."

"join together."

"together we will..."

Together.

My littlest girl and her kitty, Ruffles.....they are always together,
she holds her, pets her, runs with her, pushes her in the doll stroller,
rocks her in the doll bed, and naps with her.

Ruffles doesn't mind one little bit.

Togetherness

Together all the time -- and they never, EVER argue.

Frosty togetherness

The snowman in the yard is frozen hard.

He's a sorry sight to see.

If he had a brain, he'd complain.

Bet he wishes he were me....

If you look closely at the center of the picture,

you will notice a snowpeople nativity.

If you look even closer,

you will notice there's a figure missing.

Snow Joseph met with an untimely and unfortunate accident.

Ceramic Joseph meets brick hearth.

Not a pretty sight.

Mary is now a single mother.

togetherness...

when it warms the heart the most.
One love~

Togetherness

Listen, men, If we stick together, I think we can take this tree...

Togetherness

Kodi never takes her eye off of 'that dog'. Evee acts like 'the cat' is not even there. But I fear if I left them together it would become a tale of the Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat. Do you remember that poem, The Duel ?

The gingham dog and the calico cat

Side by side on the table sat;

'Twas half-past twelve, and (what do you think!)

Nor one nor t'other had slept a wink!

The old Dutch clock and the Chinese plate

Appeared to know as sure as fate

There was going to be a terrible spat.....

Then again if I did leave them together, maybe I would find them sleeping side by side, all peaceful and sweet - wouldn't that be the cutest thing ever?

The Newbie & The Queen

Aria (the newbie) & Sophie (the resident queen)

A treat to enjoy them together each week during piano lessons.

Little do they know...they are creating fond memories for me to cherish forever.

So generous.

Togetherness

Two brothers + Two guitars = Beautiful music

Togetherness is good...very very good ;)

what keeps a couple together
when all is said and done?
why, it is the dance,
of course,
for with two
is so much fun.

Togetherness

 

When it's cold and gloomy, we should stick together.

Together Wrapped in Love

Together now for two years....happily married.

"When we dream alone it is only a dream, but when we

dream together it is the beginning of something wonderful."

Togetherness!

I have often wondered how these Canada Geese

pick their mate for life?

Is it their long sleek necks

or are they

Just in Love!

Whatever it is they stick Together!
I might stick together if someone took me south every winter!

See? 

They weren't thrilled about going over to Indian Rock

to take holiday card photos

but they had fun...

and so did I!

Sometimes I can't believe how lucky I am.

Stick Together

Togetherness - 1929

This is from the time when child marriage was prevalent in India. The girl looking away from the camera is my grandmother, merely twelve years old and already married! At such a tender age the understanding of marriage only meant a fun ritual to her, when the bride got laden with gold jewelery, decked-up like a princess. The other little girl, eight, in the lighter sari is my grandma's sister-in-law (grandpa’s sister). They played with dolls together, common games like Indian version of hopscotch and other native games. In little time both grew extremely fond of each other and became inseparable until the disease, Kala Azar, took away her sister in law’s life. She was just eleven.
Grandma remembered and missed her childhood companion all her life. She gave me this picture to keep when I was astonished to learn that the sari she wore for the photograph was hand woven and hand embroidered with even hand embroidered lace.
My grandmother passed away some time ago after having lived a good and a grand life. This is my tribute to her lifelong memory of friendship between two little girls from the Age of Innocence.
