Artful Express Muse: Always Valentines

http://artfulexpressmuse.blogspot.com/2012/02/always-valentines.html

Tuesday, February 14, 2012. The story goes that my parents had been together since they were thirteen years old. Both born in 1916, I believe this card was exchanged in the late 1920's. Near the beginning of their relationship. My father always told me that ".it was the first valentine your mother gave me". Since it was signed "From a Friend." and my mother's maiden name is signed. In code at the bottom, it must have been given about 1929, or a maybe little earlier. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Artful Express Muse: Father's Favorite Flowers

http://artfulexpressmuse.blogspot.com/2011/06/fathers-favorite-flowers.html

Monday, June 6, 2011. My Dad's favorite wildflower must have been Phlox. I remember him showing me the plant when I was young, making sure I took a whiff of the spicy scented flowers and took notice of the color ranges in the bloom throughout the season. When he spotted them along the road as we drove by he would ask "What kind of flowers are they? And I would reply proudly with "Phlox! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Artful Express Muse: Determination

http://artfulexpressmuse.blogspot.com/2013/03/determination.html

Friday, March 1, 2013. Ten years went by and he never gave up, wearing his old raggity clothes he walked. If I missed seeing him around for a few days I would wonder if he was okay. by then I didn't walk as much, and I most often saw him as I passed by in my car. If he looked like he was having an especially hard day I would say a little prayer for him. It still makes me feel good to think about it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Artful Express Muse: February 2012

http://artfulexpressmuse.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Friday, February 24, 2012. Dad's Old Lunch Box. This is my father's metal lunch box and collapsible tin cup that he used as a child for his mid day meal at school. He would have been of school age in about 1921. It's pretty banged up, bent and dented. I remember asking him if that had happened over the years since he used it as a child, as it had laid around the house all that time? My Dad, Thomas J. Hall, was the youngest of the family. Shown here with his four older siblings and an older neighbor girl.
