My friend Carl's son..Mason. This is on the rooftop gardens of their condo complex in Oakland, Calif :-)
About two years ago, Great-Grandpa gave Mason his first harmonica. Mason was 2 years old. Ever since, Mason has kept this harmonica in a special place in his bedroom. Mason takes it out, off & on and plays his harmonica but never lets his brother touch it.
Our whole family knows that Great-Grandpa never leaves home without his harmonica. If we have a birthday, theirs Grandpa playing Happy Birthday to us and if there's a birthday at a restaurant, my father-in-law will always go over to the persons table and start playing "Happy Birthday". He has done this for years and people just love it.
Every family function that good old harmonica comes out of the pocket for a few songs. Our family just loves it!!
About a month ago, my oldest son, Jeremy had the family over for a cook-out at their new house. We were all sitting outside chatting with the family. My 4yr old grandson (Mason) got up and went into the house....nobody knew where he was going. Five minutes later, here comes Mason but this time he has his harmonica that Great-Grandpa gave him two years ago. Mason then climbs in the chair next to Great-Grandpa and takes out his harmonica. Mason then cuddled up to Great-Grandpa and started to play his harmonica. Of course, Great Grandpa couldn't resist and took his harmonica out of his front pocket(where he always keeps it) and started to play with Mason.....We were all in shock because this was the first time Mason ever did this before ....so in Mason's precious little mind, it must of been something Mason has always wanted to do together with Great-Grandpa.....! It was the cutest thing we have ever seen.
Our family will never forget this unbelieveable moment of special love that Mason has and will always have for his Great-Grandpa and his harmonica.
A swastika-like mason's mark that appears often on the Abbey stonework, as does a star-shaped one - obviously a pair of good workers!
Mason's mark on one of the pillars in St Michael's chapel of the bell tower at Moissac abbey. The chapel built between 1115 and 1120 is a good example of Norman architecture and each pillar still carries its own mason's mark.
One area of the abbey had lost an original structure, meaning that this exposed stonework was originally meant to be internal and hidden.
Masons, at the time of construction, were paid by the piece and added an initial or other mark to their pieces so they could get paid.
Here, you can see some of those masons' marks on the exposed stonework.
Thanks to Culinary Fool I learned this little bee is a type of bumble bee, and thanks to A Cup of Green Tea, I learned it is a of the Mason Bee variety. the flower it is working on is no more than an inch in diameter, and is a low growing ground cover.
This house was the place where my mom lived before her and my dad were married. Obviously now it is not fit for anyone to live there.
Catholic Scotland was in close contact with the continent. The stone masons worked in the Cluniac sites in Europe.
