Another day of this and that...



Photo (c) 2011 Blue Chair Diary Photography

It's been another long day of this and that.  I feel helpless tonight in regards to my father.  In some ways, he's doing well, considering things.  Most days, his spirits are soaring high and we're reminiscing about old times, singing, etc - but today has been fairly quiet as my father has been faced to deal with yet another infection in his body (on top of everything else) let alone possibly having to change locations/living arrangements while still undergoing treatment and recovery.  Utterly frustrating, but doing my best to keep he and the family in good spirits regardless.

So, to keep my mind oocupied tonight, I've been messing around with photos I snapped over the weekend of some old typewriters.  I'm curious, can anyone tell me the anem of the poet/author who wrote the words typed on the paper of the typewriter? He is one of my all-time favourite romantic writers.

Off to get some rest.  Incredibly tired tonight.

  1. Sophia,
    Keep your chin up with your dad....it's good that you get to reminisce with him and sing...keep those happy thoughts with you.
    I LOVE this quote, yes I know who wrote it!
    A wonderful romantic poet.
    This is fun photography here, did you add the words? I love that!
    Now, this would make a great card, I love the vintage look to it.
    Take care of yourself! Hugs!

  2. @ Heather - yes, I added the words to the paper and photo in itself. You really think it would make a great card?! Thank you for your sweet words. Struggling with feeling down tonight. Sigh.

  4. Yes! - Totally.
    I would print the photo with the type writer on it out, and put it on a 4x6 or 5x7 card. You could sell them blank or just put the "share the love...tell me how you feel" on the inside of the card.
    sorry to hear you are down...remember, it's ok to feel sad, blue, down sometimes...just know that tomorrow is a new day...you WILL feel better...! xo

  7. I'm sorry to hear that you are down, the reminicing will help all of you... though it might not seem that way now. Later, you will cherish this time that you had to do just that, reminice.

    I too think it would make a wonderful card, one I probably would have swiped up as soon as the words struck my heart.

  11. Hi Sophia, just keep the good times in the forefront and set those in your memory. I agree with Heather the typewriter would make a lovely card. I don't know the author but I am going to google it.
