My Neighborhood

Native to TGS, I attended Holy Family School and its damned church.
Jesus, how I hated Catholism.
We still stroll the alleys.
Most of the garages went up in the 50s when returning Vets had Union jobs amd were dads with skills and loved to build.

McPherson - The Third Decade

My life changed when I landed at the Manse on McPherson. I had two sutdio spaces. My jewelry business rapdily expanded. Three sales reps had my work in every art museum gift shop in the Midwest including a huge order from the Chicago Art Institute and here at SLAM. Extensive travel. Adenture in the Mojave. Romance. The Highway 101 drive. San Franciso. Seattle. North Bend with the stars of Fire Walk with Me. Manhatten. Italy! Publishing a magazine and meeting outstanding people. Showing in the IN/FORM shows. Selling art work. Resided with a cast of characters.
It was grand.
Some time in the 80s I developed my Know Where Fast Line. My Birthday party with BFF, Carrie Lindsey. I was wearing a blue metallic dress that I'd made.
And, Armin Paetzold. Such love.

Gates in an Alley

Alley walk with Butter.

Sacred Pink Lotus seeds

I placed some Sacred Pink Lotus seeds in a glass to see if they'd do anything since they are small and perhaps not viable.
They've found each other.

My other Love

This morning I found a crow's foot in the alley and was profoundly saddened.
I examined it in the sunlight. The talons were not sharp but made to grasp and not puncture. They were more like jaws than a fistful of needles. The underside was padded like a dog's foot.
For the first time in 6 years I cried.
