Orange Bag Memories
This one was filled with too many memories to not post. Jules' Photo Challenge Group's theme for today is "luggage." Our larger pieces of luggage were not colorful enough to make an interesting photo so I pulled out the old "orange bag." (For the group challenge, I used the simple shot.) The tote's name was given to it by our first grandchild.
When we would travel to visit, the bag went along. It was usually filled with an old plastic tablecloth (to be used as an area covering for the artists at work), an assortment of stickers, bubble making supplies, magic markers, paint supplies, books, kiddie tape player with fun songs, or even a camera for the little one/s. The "stuff" in the photo was pulled from a cedar chest where some of the art supplies remain. The "aging" of the assortment is interesting. From the bubbles and very large paint brushes to the scissors and smaller crayons, on to watercolor pencils to pastels and glue. The large magic markers must have dried out or were needed for a more recent project elsewhere.:)
How quickly time flies. Applying for Student Financial Aid - Now the little note pad book, which I think was a freebie from Alabama National Guard, reminds us more of the immediate future than that there are still some blank pages inside on which stick people could be drawn.
I must chuckle at "The Little Red Hen" book. There's a real world out there and at least one retired college professor/dean might have been known to put it on a required reading list. I'm not sure that he did but he "highly" recommended it. . . . so that's the story of the "orange bag."
