This print of Glasgow University, where I did my degree, is hanging in the Lounge
I graduated from here, aged 26, at nine months and 4 days pregnant.
No kidding. Our firstborn arrived, thankfully late, five days later. That large black robe worn for graduating was very useful. I was about 5 foot tall, and 5 foot wide!
This hangs above the fire in the Lounge. I think someone ought to write a book based on this picture.
It says so much.
And of course these guys make it too!
This is printed on canvas, and is almost black-and-white.
These are hanging in the Dining Room. I bought these prints in Grand Bend, Ontario in 2001.
I love the prints, but I really, really love where they came from. Every time I look at them, they remind me of a wonderful day my Mum and I, along with our relatives in Ontario, had visiting Grand Bend.
I don't want to bore y'all, so I'll leave it at that right now. Another time, I'll show some of what hangs in some of the other rooms.
Hope you're all having a fantastic day. We have hailstones and gusting winds right now. Sooooo - anyone fancy a swap?
Huh! Thought not!
Enjoying the pictures, I always look at peoples pictures when in their houses. I can't help myself, and there are hints of story in them... as you pointed out about the one picture. I love the picture with your kids. Its very good, and they are lovely.
ReplyDeleteDo you play music? I can picture you playing music after seeing the picture on your wall.
Also, left a comment on piggy post, didn't want you to miss it.
Much Love,
Pam
Sadly, Pam, I don't play music. I have always longed to play the piano, and I hang onto the dream....maybe if I'm still around when the kids have their own homes.... Oooh - a bit like you with space for a craft room - not a good trade, is it?! I hardly like to talk of these days!

Sorry you are having wintry weather! It is very nice here, sunny and about 70 degrees Fahrenheit. I love your pictures. They are beautiful! And so are your children :0!

ReplyDeleteI loved seeing your home. I'm like Pam, I am nosy as I look at what other women have hanging on the wall.
I so long to play the piano too...but I don't think it will happen anythime soon.
And, your wintry mix sound kind of good right now. I could use an excuse to make some cocoa.
P.S. Your kiddos are so pretty!
Hi, didn't know you'd been to Glasgow, I graduated in 1989, got married in the Uni Chapel in 1990, and less than a yr later had Alex. How did you graduate so late in life (grin), I was 22 and had taken five yrs to do a four yr degree. What did you study? I did law which is not much use to me now!
ReplyDeleteI left school at 16, did 2 years at college - hairdressing - worked for a few years, then went back to school for a year to get qualifications then onto Glasgow for an Arts degree...Gaelic, History, Moral Philosophy. Got married at end of 1st year of Uni, and - as I said - had DR almost as I graduated! Great fun! Except doing tutorials with morning sickness, Yuck!

You are a hairdresser? Oh I envy you!

Well, I *was*, but the fact that I was has saved me a fortune over the years. No doubt about it, God uses even our 'wasted' years....
