MERRYMAKING

sometimes

the best plans

are "no plans"

labor day

an extra day for laundry

poor noah

the phone rings

it is grandma and grandpa hart

an invitation is extended

affirmative

to the marriott pool we go

noah throws the football

surprise

mom catches

an hour passes

fingers shrivel

stomachs growl

viola!

a picnic at the pool

cobb salad

hamburgers

chicken fingers

sliders and sweet potato fries

and

chocolate ice cream

apple cobbler

(dad and rick were exchanging apps...looked like the new social relationship of today text each other side by side)
quality time

with my boy
quality time
with my hubby
quality time
with my parents

if we had stayed home...

noah would be playing with friends

mom would be doing housework

rick would be watching tv
but not today

our "no labor day plan"
ended up being
the crazy cannon ball best
and we did it together
such *MERRYMAKING

*fun

collage haven

i find safety in creativity

it is a refuge from negativity

 i love my photos

i love duct tape

i love typewriters

i love color

i love words 

just hiding a way in a box

waiting to be rediscovered

 i love noah
and all his care free smiles

i love stickers

and happy thoughts

just hiding out in a closet
hoping to be re-remembered

or buried in a pile
desiring to be re-showcased

and re-becca has the perfect idea

*CONFLATE

*to blend them together
in the form of COLLAGE

now i love my notebooks

and carry my

happiness with me
