Welcome May

With the changes in how we do life, 

I've had some time to follow up on a few wall decor ideas I've seen -
for the house that we may finally move into this month! 

When I could not find a suitable window type picture frame online,

Kristal gave me a name of someone who 

ended up showing me around her barn full of old windows and furniture.

It actually felt like part of an HGTV set and

would have been a lot of fun to poke around in with a friend.

However, I knew what I was looking for and didn't linger too long.

I took the window home and scrubbed and scraped.

 It cleaned up nice. 

When we got married in 1975 

we would not have dreamed that one day we'd be able to scan our photos.

And since the photographer owned the negatives,

we thought we'd never get another chance to reproduce them.

In fact, we chose four copies of one of our photos,

so that we could pass them on to our kids one day.

(in case we'd have four kids!) 

It wasn't this one because I didn't like it at the time. 

This is a small glimpse of how time and perspective have changed things.

We have limitless possibilities with photos,

such as printing a regular poster of any photo. 

And, for the record, for some reason

the carefree and joyful moment caught in this scene

has become one of my favorite captures of that day.
