the art of remembering. papaw's collections.

some childhood memories are more clear than others.
when it comes to memories, i remember these collections well.

remembering is important.  seeing what is before me is important, dust and all.
these collections are marked & recorded here to call my senses to appreciate. to hold. to delight. to remember. 

a night of remembering: fireworks!

we celebrated the forth as many of you did.  watermelon & fireworks.  this show was spectacular, taking place on the ground of the old homeplace of my mamaw & papaw.  we know that papaw would be proud at the display, an hour long fireworks show!  it was loud, in your face ((one got a little too close, which will wake up all the senses!)), and bright & colorful.  i think that would say a lot about my papaw, as i know he could be loud, in your face, bright & colorful.  he had a gentelness at times, but i remember him most in full color.
