confessions of a cluttered mind
Seeing those baby girls.…alongside my grown up daughter….and son—it was impossible not to think back, and hum a few bars…..
Is this the little girl I carried?
It’s been that kind of weekend.
As proud parents (and sentimental slobs), my ex and I exchanged a lot of glances behind their backs, marveling at the two amazing human beings we produced.
I don’t remember growing older……….when did they?
Maybe I’ve become a cliche; I can’t say it any better than that.
After becoming a writer, artist, TV journalist, mother and breast cancer survivor----I realize nothing turns out the way we expect. So I blog about handling the big and little things — with humor, humanity, and hope.
The knobs say it all: Susan is the super-hero inside every woman. Made of ceramic knobs, hand–painted tiles, on a painted background. Measures 12″ X 12″ .
It's the combination, of course. And the locks will open for the right person---(to be revealed on the back when you take her home.) Made of combination locks and hand-painted tiles on a painted background. Measures 14" by 14".
Pun intended. A nice pair---of pears...made of miniature porcelain boxes, surrounded by painted tiles and broken china on a painted background. Measures 11" square.
Hope: not only on her driver’s license, but in her heart. Ceramic ribbon, hand-painted tiles on a painted background, measures 9 inches square.
Word surrounded by hand-painted tiles in bright and beautiful (gold and marine blue) colors, with border of tiny gold tiles. Measures 11" square.
True beauty lies in the imperfections. Irregular mirror surrounded by hand-painted tiles with a border of ceramic tiles. Measures 11" square.
This is the age they were when I knew them best. Everything after that has been a bit of a shock for me, too! Eric & I dropped J at the airport this morning, and now the house seems extra quiet

Ha–think it’s an age thing? We’re completely in synch. You’re a few hrs. ahead of me timewise, but I’m right there with you emotionally—In fact I’m just writing about that right this minute!
Yes I remember them…
And I love that song!
Crazy I didn’t even see my mom’s comment before I posted mine! It must be true!
So funny that you didn’t see your mom’s comment—I love the song too–And so glad to hear from you!
