What can I say?
I was Scout.
I've loved the movie To Kill A Mockingbird my entire life.
I would have watched it in this very chair, in the dark, cool basement in Elmhurst.
I never thought that little girl was me. Not once.
But this little tomboy Donna with her grown out pixie and rolled up shorts and cut off sleeves
is Scout.
I feel connected to this movie in many lovely and unique ways.
Our father took pictures and had them made into slides.
I absolutely loved the evenings we would sit on the floor and our dad would click thru pictures
on the slide projector.
Nancy saved the slides for years. She passed on 'our slides' to each of us a long while ago.
Gosh. I would love to see ALL of the slides.
I find reminiscing to be my favorite topic of conversation lately.
"Of all the means of expression, photography is the only one that
fixes a precise moment in time."
~Henri Cartier-Bresson
Encourage one another,

It is so good to see you blogging again. Your blog is in my list that I check daily. :) My husband's youngest sister is walking this journey too. She shaved her head recently when she began losing her hair. Praying for you both!
ReplyDeleteOh Jody. There are a lot of us out here. God bless your SIL. I will pray that her treatments go perfectly! If she gets sad and mad about her hair, let her see my hairgrowth pics. It was so trying...but also gives me so much fun to watch it grow. I did not expect this. I thought I would be miserable until it was long and blonde again. But I think it's cute. haha Thank you for praying!
