In 1968, we teen girls wore dresses to school! My mom used this pattern to sew me a dress and I loved it ❤️

In the early 1800s the Sioux settled the prairies of southwest Minnesota and and southeast South Dakota, and quarried the red rock (still do to this day). George Catlin wrote about and painted portraits that depicted the life of the native plains tribes, shown above on a 1960s booklet. This is where I grew up.

1982 - my wonderful 8 yo daughter poses with the sculpture at Laguna Gloria Art Museum in Austin. A moment of serendipity💖
“Sculpture in the grass
Girl plants herself into Art
She blends, doesn‘t she….”

In the days leading up to D-Day, on June 5, 1944, BBC Radio Londres broadcast lines from Paul Verlaine's poem "Chanson d'automne" to the French Resistance as a coded message to indicate D-Day would occur in 2 weeks.

Was reminiscing about my roses where I used to live. This pink one is called Belinda‘s Dream. I cut red, white and pink roses for bouquets all over the house. So beautiful right after rain.

When the children were young I began collecting eggs. Later on, my middle school students called me Mrs. Egg (in lieu of Eggleston).

“Life was like that, she guessed; it was all wrong until suddenly it was right, and you didn‘t really know how to react in either instance.”
The lives of American nurses serving in Vietnam 🇻🇳 was often a #RockyRoad😢
