Bling, TALENTED ladies & excellent memories!

Hi, friends!

Huge apologies for my absence... it's been a wild few months, but I SURVIVED leaving
my fabulous homestead and venturing ALL THE WAY TO PHILADELPHIA for a family
reunion and a dear celebration of life for my late Uncle James... and WHAT a celebration
it was - we had a FANTASTIC time, even through the tears of remembrance - there was joy!

There were rekindled relationships and GENERATIONS of great folks...




HISTORY!



Enlightenment...



Works of ART!




Saving the WORLD!



Lots of WALKING!


And delicious consideration...



Okay! I said we walked a LOT! We were HUNGRY....



More ART!



INTERESTING architecture...



Beauty in familiar places....



Random graves....



More....!




I found these SO random, but extremely beautiful..
{WHAT must it be like to trick-or-treat in downtown Philadelphia?}




Sooooo much to see!



And LEARN.... and LOVE...

and remember...!




And OH, so much fun!

I LOVED Philadelphia!

Meanwhile, back in blogland.... OH HOW I'VE MISSED BLOGLAND!
