Connecting with the past

This last 4 weeks has been full of reunions with people from my past. Yesterday I went to the memorial service for the mother (97 yrs old) of a boy I went to school with in grades 1-8. We didn't have kindergarten back then, and we went to one room schoolhouses until 5th grade. Our new school had 3 rooms and 50 students. The reason I went to the memorial was of course to see the boy I had gone to school with and 3 of his siblings that also went to the schools. It was so wonderful to see him after 54 years. On a sad note, he told me the other boy in our 8th grade graduating class of 4 had passed away earlier this year. The other girl went to my high school and I saw her on Sept. 27th. I will have a lot of good memories from these reunions to look back at in future days.

I cut up another strip set I had made several months ago that was mostly light and medium values with only a few darks in it. I thought the first squares I cut needed a little more light with them.
Now I am trying to decide whether to cut up some of the blue and green sets I have made. Maybe the answer will come to me later today.
