I had to nip into town to buy a new Old Tom glass. So while I was there I bought a bottle or two of Old Tom to go with it.
Hints of dragon fruit and raspberry. Oh no, hang on, that's the candle.
Downtown Bentonville has become a place where one can spend a million dollars on a small older home. I'll never be able to live there, but at least it makes for a photogenic area.

Some times even I didn't bring a camera. So a phone will have to do.
The past through rose tinted glasses - - we tend to "drop" the less pleasing memories.
Researchers suggest it could be that good memories persist longer than bad - helping to keep the human race happy and resilient.
Psychologists say that holding onto our good memories - and leaving the bad ones behind - helps us to deal with unpleasant situations and retain a positive outlook on life.
It was 80 years ago that the idea of negative memories fading faster was first proposed.
Back in the 1930s psychologists collected recollections about life events like people's holidays - marking them as pleasant or unpleasant.
Weeks later an unannounced request came from the researchers to recall their memories.
Of the unpleasant experiences nearly 60% were forgotten - but only 42% of the pleasant memories had faded.

Betsy has apparently been in our family for over 200 years. At least according to this letter. My Dad gave her to me after I had helped him with my Great Aunt's estate 20 some years ago.
I am starting back up organizing all of the photos and letters we found and put them out on our website. A lot of work, which is why I stopped two years ago. Any how, here is a picture of Theodore with Old Betsy back in the day. www.familyhistoria.com/Ethelred%20Delk/John%20Delk/Joseph...
I apologize for the big watermark, but people were taking my photos and claiming them as their own out on Ancestry.com, which is another story. Enjoy, B.

My Dearest Niece
I rec. your most of all kind and welcome letter I ever rec from you. Don't think dear I don't apprciate them all for I surely do. But dear when I see poor old Betsy arived to you all right it lifted a big load of of my mind for I have ben afraid I would drop off before you recievd it. You picture is following close to her. Now I can rest lots better. I read your kind and loving 4 times when I recieved it last eavning with lot tears blind my eyes. I was so glad to hear you were pleased with it. Oh child to hear a good player take hold of it. I can hear her speak to profsor Green in his church work. The most lovely player I ever heard play. He used to tell me many times I could beat any man handling the bow he ever seen in his life. He taught piano & violin in the Boston conservatory of music 5 years 10 dollars per day. Poor man lived with me an my wife at Hood River nearly a year. I gave his board and a nice room. Dear just to hear him play the violin while I played the acompayment on the piano. But it is all pased and gone forever. Your brother must have taken after me a little. I only took lessons in vocal but never took a lesson on an instrument in my life. Well I hope you all well and to from you again soon. I am getting better slow. with love to all. Your Uncle Joe Delk
Mary Dear coppy this side in ink so it will keep.
Now Mary Dear for the reccord and age of Old Betsy. In J.T. Delk's hands traded one 200 Dollar Orgon & one 35.00 violin 15.00 in money to my oldest brother Solimon Bennett Delk in Oceola Iowa. 250.00. kept it 54 years. He got it of Uncle Bill Kerns your Grand Ma's brother. Solimon kept it 35 years. Uncle Bill Kerns got it of his uncle Dave Kerns. Uncle kept it 27 years. He got it of his uncle William Kerns who bought it in Bublin Ireland of a french Italian by the name of Delonzo. William kept it 34 years. He paid for it 42 English Pounds. Thats why I would not sell it. Dear you will laugh when I tell you the truth about what I have been offered for it in Kansas. Pof. Hi Jones one 200 Dol horse one 75 Dol violin one 30 Dol Brood sow and 9 fine 80 and 90 pound pigs. Some trade but no trade. 300 Dollars cash too years ago last August. One violin 300 Dol and 250 Dol in money and from 100 to 150 dollars more than 20 times. That is why I sent it to you Dear for I was aftraid of temtation. But now I am safe. It is yours thank Providence and good luck. By By let me starve Old Betsy is safe.
Your Loving Uncle Joe Delk
Old City Hall on a cold night in December. Designed by Toronto architect Edward James Lennox, the building took more than a decade to build (1889-1899) and cost more than $2.5 million. For these reasons, city counsillors denied Lennox a plaque proclaiming him as architect for the building, so he had stonemasons etch his name in stone around the building. Old City Hall is a designated National Historic Site of Canada.

These are our old money boxes with a selection of old pre decimal coins that we would have saved in them. The Burslem & District Industrial Co-operative Society Ltd are long gone. Leek United Building Society on the other hand are just like it says on the box "Firm and lasting". I can still vaguely remember my Mum taking me into the local branch with an ancient Leek United money box. The gent behind the counter commented on its age and went to find a suitable key. When he opened the box there was a collection of coins, buttons and an assortment of odds & ends that caused a certain amount of merriment. Mum made the total up to ten shillings and I became the latest member of Leek United Building Society complete with a brand new blue moneybox. Years later I got to know the gent who signed me up, it turned out that he retired on that day, I was his last new member. "Money Box"... "Smile on Saturday"...
"Three Charming Old Ladies of Napa"
The Virtual Paintout is in Napa Valley in California for the month of June, traveling via Google Street Views..I did 4 posts and only 3 can go up on the site---so I am uploading this last one to Facebook...It's in Napa on 1st Street---which was all commercial looking till I got far down the street and then these wonderful Victorian homes one right after the other came into view...I love them so much I picked these three to do...maybe the name 1st street, really means it was one of the first ones and that's why the older homes are there ????
BeStill52, light & airy week. A few weeks behind and trying to catch up. A friend gave me the old perfume bottle as a prop and I have been meaning to use it. KK-"lettherebelight" preset.
Headed to this little old derelict cottage near Stradbally to do some IR.
Fairly happy with the way it turned out.

Summer evening birds are calling

I enjoyed the research on this, but more extensive editing than what I'm presented me eluded me for 4 hours today, and I'm yielding. This is in the style of Pieter Claesz,who featured lemons in several of his works. I zoomed in on only that, since he also included oysters (way over my price range this week). I specifically zeroed in on this from looking at an image done modernly by Daniel Chiriac to guide me on lighting, etc. SB900 through a small soft box above and slightly right, SB600 cam right above and through an umbrella. Fired by pop-up flash in commander mode.
When life gives you lemons, and there's no vodka in the house, you take photos, I guess
