SUNDAY SNAPS


 This week’s first word is “Tap”. 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 

This is my favorite little “Clock”. 



 
 
 
 
 


Which “Card” should I send?  The subjects themselves even look like cards.



 Trudy thinks she is “Hidden”  .



 Another “Me Now”  photo. 



The photo-a-day challenge is from a blogger in Australia.  And it was Father’s Day in Australia yesterday, Sunday, Sept 2nd.  I want to honor my Grandfathers for the word “Father”.  They were both very important men in my life. 

Grandpa Riddle, on the left, was my mother’s father.  He was from England, raised in China, and dressed this way every single day.  This picture was taken at Echo Park in Los Angeles probably in the 50s.  Echo Park was a favorite spot of ours.


Grandpa Hansen, on the right, was my father’s father. Grandpa Hansen was from Denmark.  He was a gentleman farmer, delivered mail in horse and buggy in Fresno,  and built a Lutheran church on his end of town (because there was a need).  He was such a kind and gentle man.

They are both missed very much.

Hope you had a good week.

Quilt happy,

Marilyn
