Lucille's Sewing Years

I remember back when we were growing up, Lucille would do a lot of sewing.  I remember either Jeffery or I would be somewhere around her when she sews. She would ask whichever one of us was around to go and get her something.  

The first question was "What does it look like?" 

She will describe it and the next question was "Where is it?" 

She will tell us where it is and we will always go and get it for her. One time she asked me to get her something. I asked, "What does it look like?" 

She described it and said she didn't know where it was. 

I said, "I don't know where it is either." 

Jeffery entered the room. She asked Jeffery to get it for her and told her she didn't know where it was.

 Jeffery said, "I don't know where it is either."

Follow-up by Clyde

I remember Luci's sewing days too.  I recall asking her to sew me a black vest once.  I had seen movie stars and several cool rock stars wearing them.  Of course, I wanted to be cool too.

She whipped one up for me. It was a pullover made of a faux leather fabric.  It looked really cool, until I put it on.


I don't know why it didn't work for me.  

I wore it a few times and it hung in my closet for a while.  Don't know what finally happened to it.

AI Wedding Edit

 I've had this photo from Jim and Michelle's wedding for quite some time.  I never was satisfied with the focus and the woman in the foreground was distracting, (Is that Sandra Kay?)



I thought I would run this through Gemini AI in Google Photos and see if I could correct some of the problems with it.  This is the result...


Well, the woman in the foreground is gone and the focus is better, but now it looks like Jim is marrying a different, better looking woman.  Did Michelle ever look that good?  AI still needs some work I guess.

Rugrats Everywhere !

 This is Matt and Tiffany's herd of Rugrats.


Clockwise from the upper left are Skye, Adyn, Sebastian, Ariel and Journiee.

These are the first charcoal portraits I printed.  I gave them to Tiffany and Matt last Christmas.  I've done a lot more since, mostly Rugrats.  People seem to love them, I can't figure out why.

Grown-Up Rugrats ?

 Here are a couple more Rugrats that are grown-up now, or maybe they just think they are.
