Our Doorway Deco

The rusty wire baskets on the left, remind me of being

a kid going to the swimming pool.

They put your *dry* clothes in a basket with a number on it...

and a pin with the same number.

You better not lose the pin.

The old water cooler makes me think of pictures I have 

seen of family reunions at a park.

Family reunions I didn't go to because

I wasn't born yet.

The old mop bucket was given to me by a friend

in a church we used to be a member of.

I used it so much with a real mop,

that the wooden part wore out 

and wouldn't hold the screw anymore.

I still miss using that bucket.

I just planted some Ice Plant from my mom's garden

in it.  I hope it grows and grows.

I love little gas heaters.

We had a propane heater in the basement in the house

I grew up in.

The heat would rise to the rest of the house.

I thought everybody had a basement with a

propane heater in it.....

I thought that until I moved to Texas.

A state not famous for basements.
