Why would a button be bittersweet? Well, because my 16-year old daughter, Anna, can't work buttons. Sometimes the things I take for granted hit me in the gut. I'm pretty far down this path of mothering a child with special needs, but there are still milestones that sting. It can be something simple like knowing other girls her age are wearing makeup (Anna has no interest) or dating (Anna desperately wants a boyfriend) to the bigger things like getting a driver's license (that won't ever happen) or going to junior prom (Anna should be in 11th grade this year but we had her repeat kindergarten). I remind myself of the progress she's making and that she is on her own timeline, but when I saw this week's theme... "Buttons and Bows"... I got a pang. She can't work a button, she doesn't have the fine motor control, so for me, the button is bittersweet.
After my last posting I missed a button from my dress. Yesterday I found it, so
I lost a button,
A little silver button,
So I looked for my button
Most everywhere.
I found my button,
My gold rimmed button,
So I sewed on my button
Most firmly there.
Just to make you smile!
With apologies to AAMilne.

Agaricus bisporus, commonly known as the Button mushroom, is the most widely cultivated mushroom in the world.
Has anyone seen the Curious Case of Benjamin Button? Is it just me, or was that film an awesome one?! Great story line...! And if you haven't seen it yet, I urge you to do so! Soon!
Anyway. I took this picture, in Hong Kong, on my P&S camera, didn't turn out too bad, despite it being in an awfully lit place, and I was a little rushed. But it was actually a nice wall mural of buttons... all glued to the wall.... certain sections with different colours. If I had more time, I would've taken shed loads, but my cousin and auntie were waiting for me.
Tag the picture!
Choose a button!
Exploring my grandmother's button box, I found a curved needle and a metal button and started playing.

Day 22 - The pressure of the Do NOT press this Button sign. Alvin has been through this many times. He loves technology and seeing what happens as he presses buttons and moves sliders.
But the pressure is on, will he turn off social media, maybe even forever?
This is one of those buttons a pedestrian is supposed to push to make a traffic light give them a chance to cross. Like every other such button, this one does not do that. In addition, this one does not even press in. But it does make a nice subject for 119 pictures in 2019, #10, "arrows". This one is just north of downtown Austin, Texas, at the entrance to the state capitol building. The intersection is just 3 way for cars, but on the days when there is not some protest or event going on, there is a short window in each cycle when visitors to the capitol are allowed to cross the main cross-street.
