Flower girl Becca

As I was growing up I remember going into my grandparents bathroom and into the rental house I lived in all my childhood off and on. These two places always had the same bathroom wall paper.  Yellow, orange, white flower pattern.  Whenever I was a kid on the toilet I would trace my fingers around the flowers to give me something to do (like you care, right?) Any-who I was sitting on the toilet again and it had been a while since I paid attention to it and realized I didn't want to miss it, that innocent of tracing my finger along flower patterns as a child, so what better way then to capture it in a photo I will forever have like the large bucket of pictures I have to carry around with me for the rest of my life.  I took a picture of the wall paper then started to play around with it on photoshop.  This is what I came up with.  Kinda lame, I realize.... I think its fun overall though, even if its Becca and not me.  Hope you like...

Ship Lamp

Another piece of collected memory from growing up around my grandparents house.  The old ship lamp that sits on the kitchen counter by my grandpa's pill bag.  All I can picture is him sitting at the old wooden bar stool and pulling the ship lamps string down for the only facing light bulb that continues to remain bright.  I like this shot myself, and hope you do as well...
