Houdinis's trunks, my first thoughts were going through his drawer of speedos, which weren't all speedos, yes never mind,
my second thoughts on the going through of Houdini's trunks were, well I am not writing out those graphics


as for Apollo 13

I'll admit it this once in a post forum, socks can be useful



Mary John and Millie I am taken by that picture, and would like to know the story behind it, hmm which is not writing one

smiley - rofl Now, I like that speedo idea, yessir.

The whole Apollo 13 thing is just classic, isn't it?

And yeah, the story about the oyster shuckers opens up a whole world of history, would make a good Guide Entry.

I'm glad the pictures started your imagination. smiley - hug Even if those pictures don't make you write, you might find others that would. smiley - smiley

Thanks for letting me know what they made you think of.

liked that smiley - cheers

Athene seems smiley - zen to me but when she touched the plaster I imagined an expression like Kim and Aggie would pull if they ran a finger along my dusty surfaces

Dmitri, I didn't say that yes I think that story telling is a great gift and the time we spend together reminiscing is bonding, and it doesn't matter how many times the story is told they never get boring. It is timeless isn't it? Especially feel that when we are camping or just round a fire.

I owe you more thanks *smiley - hug and gratitude*

I was bibbling round goggle looking up Millie and Mary John, you know how that goes smiley - cdouble and don't get me wrong their story is interesting but I am wowed by Lewis Hine's photography and what he tried to do with a camera

not being a great one for heights this one makes me feel quite smiley - ill

hah!

so here you all are.

I'm better late than never, and finally found the Parthenon! Yes!! Amazing. I never heard of this before!The one in Nashville. I just read mvp's story in the AWW , and managed to track down the inspiration, like here, before the Post smiley - thepost changes to next week. This week. What week? Good morning.

Ah yes, yes!!! photos as inspiration for writing. I must go on about photos as inspiration for writing, and I must go on about mvp;s story, and many other things, but not right now because mine eyes are like two saucers and I think a cat might try to drink milk of them.
