on this day

.
there will be no banqueting.


no Gluttony.
no Stout.


no jams-
no glamour


no running all about


but guests have been arriving
(of that have little doubt)
with a place at table
I give all thanks to Them-
 (Cecil, Susan Mary, Patty, Ivan, Mercedes, Madge and Esther)



Now please say Grace
-Amen.

  4. You wouldn't believe all I went through to photograph Sir Patrick's home in Greece. I was almost in twice,even pulling strings with the help of the Wall Street Journal. To no avail alas, the museum shut me off.

  7. Adore the image of Giacomo Balla's "Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash" with its fleet-footed dachshund. Balla's Futurist painting very accurately captures the feeling - and look - of walking a dog and "running all about".

  8. Did I just imagine it? Or did this post reference the day JFK was killed in Dallas? November 22!
    It was my mother's birthday.....so it is engraved in my mind.
    Was it just a "fluke"?

    Just wondering!!!

    I adore your blog, as you know!
