Whimsical Windows - Cute Cousins


We are all fans of windows, doors and cute kids. So, for this installment of Toby's Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors,  I revert all the way back to 1995/96 and peripheral views of suburban window styles behind cute smiling cousins. Thus the smiles are the gateway to non-descript windows on houses and garage doors. Perhaps this stretches the definition of windows...but not whimsical :)

WW - Children and Sprinklers

It is the end of summer now, and the kids have grown a lot since 1995. Yet, when small, a sprinkler on a hot day is all the fun they needed...
See WW and WW!

WW - First Day 1995

The first day of Mead School, 1995. Daughter (L) to enter second grade, and very experienced. Son (C) and neighbor (R) newbies entering kindergarten. Alas, all are grown college grads these days. One has to start somewhere :) See Create w/Joy!

Shadow Shot Sunday - Sad day...

First day of school, 1995, Ansonia, CT
The news of today defies logic - that indescribable events touched today the innocent is what is so sad. As parents, we don't sit in a vacuum - I chose for this SSS2 post a picture of our children - Cameron on the first day of kindergarten in 1995, Allegra the first day of second grade, the ages of the affected today. Shadows fall over the two who were ready to discover more...

The thought of course is what if the worst occurred in our town in our safe schools - we send them off every day not considering and certainly not expecting the very worst. For SSS2, the look of innocence is what I see on a sad day in a nice town 20 miles away...

Patti's former Register colleague lives in Sandy Hook, has a child at that school (not harmed thankfully) - Read her harrowing account of today - it is gripping...
