Laughter


This is my entry in a neat meme called I Heart Faces. Click on this button to check it out



The theme this week is laughter. My granddaughter Autumn loves to laugh and have a good time. This photo was taken after a day of watching Mardi Gras parades earlier this year. She had enjoyed the day and was really keyed up. We were eating at the Zea Rotisserie & Grill in Metarie after the parades. I was trying to take a picture of Autumn and had asked her to turn around. She thought it was hilarious to just lean over backwards instead of turning around. I took her picture anyway, and it is one of my favorite photos of her.

Having a Good Time



We met this man while we were touring the Mayan ruins at Lamanai in Belize. He is a Belizean who has lived most of his life in the U.S. He was very friendly and loved having a good time. When I was about to take this photo he asked me if I had black and white film in the camera. I was just about to explain that it was a digital camera before I "got" the joke. We all had a good laugh.

    Autumn is such a joyful little girl.
    And that man's joke was cute indeed. He has joy in his heart too that shows all over his countenance.

I Is For Itsy Bitsy Spider

It's time again for ABC Wednesday . If you aren't participating in ABC Wednesday , you are missing out on a lot of fun. This week the letter is I. I is for Itsy Bitsy Spider. The nursery rhyme Itsy Bitsy Spider was first published in 1910. The origin of this nursery rhyme isn't documented. The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout Down came the rain, and washed the spider out Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain So the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again. Jim Carrey appeared in an animated short titled Itsy Bitsy Spider that was released in 1992. The Itsy Bitsy Spider was eventually made into an animated series, which aired on the USA Network. The best rendition of Itsy Bitsy Spider I have seen is this wacky 15 second version. My second favorite version is the Carly Simon version from her Coming Around Again album. It is not common knowledge that Itsy Bitsy Spider is actually an allegory of the struggle of the lower classes. To help you understan...

Cathy's Corner

My An Arkie's Faith column from the May 29, 2024, issue of The Polk County Pulse. At 8:30 on Sunday morning, several family members left our hotel in Siloam Springs and headed to Cathy’s Corner for breakfast. My family was in town for my granddaughter's graduation. Several of us ended up staying at the same hotel. After a night full of anxiety from storms that produced tornadoes close by, we wanted to go out for breakfast before heading our separate ways. Cathy’s Corner is a Siloam Springs landmark. We have been eating at Cathy’s for over 30 years. It is the place to be in Siloam Springs on a Sunday morning. I pulled into the crowded parking lot, searching for an open space. A space near the front door opened as a truck pulled out of the lot. Inside, the restaurant was a beehive of activity. It looked a bit like an Arkansas farmhouse. There were setting hens on the wallpaper and signs that said such things as “Good food,” “Fresh eggs,” and “Friends are always welcome here.” The...
