Surprise, It’s Graham Nash!

OK, the title is a little misleading. It wasn't Graham Nash, it was an exhibit.
I took a trip to visit my daughter recently along the Jersey Shore. It’s a beautiful place and more to see than Snooki. We took a ride to Stone Harbor and window shopped. 
    One of the shops had a Graham Nash exhibit featuring some of his work (you know, of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young). For those of you not familiar with Graham Nash, he was a member of the band, The Hollies, and then a member of Crosby, Stills, and Nash (that later became Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young). Some songs he wrote were Marrakesh Express", "Just A Song Before I Go" (1977) later "Wasted on the Way" (1982). He also wrote "Our House" and "Teach Your Children." The exhibit included photos and paintings. Here’s a few of the work in the exhibit.


He didn’t do the vase or the other work in this photo but I had to include them anyway. The vase is incredible.

Down the street was another art market with this jelly fish lamp in the window. Very cool.

Dumpster Save of the Day…..World War II Photos

Memorial Day weekend and I’ve been working on curtains (new ones to match my newly painted living room), the garden (weeding and harvesting), and my poodle posse (freshly groomed). I even built a newsletter for the shop (I refuse to say “I wrote it”…I built that darn thing). I’ve been pretty busy and then the hubby came in with an old scrapbook that once belonged to a friend who passed away about 10 years ago. My busy day came to a screeching halt when I saw the book. Seems this scrapbook was destined for the dumpster when our eagle-eyed nephew noticed it and rescued it. Good thing he did, too. Part of the book had clippings from 1946-1960’s of the Gold Star Mothers. Interesting. The rest were incredible photos taken during WWII by our friend who served in the Aleutians and then “somewhere in the Pacific” before the war ended. After the war ended he was stationed in Japan (he gave me a Japanese doll and some fabric from then, treasures). Anyway, here’s some of the photos. 

I’m not sure where this picture was taken but he donated a copy of it to our local DAV.

This is Warren. I knew him when he was gray haired.

 

Thank you, to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. God Bless you all. To those who serve now, thank you and stay safe.
