Everyday in Frankford

From Chris Baker Evens.  See more of his work at this link.

Ms Lay of Douleur Boutique poses with a hand-decorated Mothers Day wine glass at the Day Before Mothers Day Flower Sale, held at the Frankford Pause park on Paul St. Ms Lay can be found hosting her stall in front of the Citizens Bank on Frankford Avenue. The Mothers Day event featured a range of craft stalls, and included the Friends of Overington Park, the Frankford Flower Club and live music.

This is the last installment of Everyday in Frankford.  Chris and his family are relocating to another neighborhood in the city.  His positive view of Frankford has been welcome and we wish him and his family well.

Gone But Not Forgotten

Gone But Not Forgotten

 

When I stop and think about the old days and the love we used to share.

Easter Bunny’s, Santa Claus, and playing in the Square.

Grandma sitting in that old rocking chair, mother telling all the kids they must learn to share.

Oh yes, I remember the old days and the love we used to share,

And remembering that Mother’s Day is everyday even though you’re not here.

Have a Good Day

Have a Good Day

Can somebody tell me what happened to thank you, please, and have a good day?

This can’t be like snowflakes and just melt away, this is a tradition we must hold on to each and everyday.

Stop and think how thoughtful it would be to brighten someone’s day, with just a simple smile, and a thank you, and have a good day.

This may be the only thing they need to get them through today, a smile, a thank you, and have a good day.

We must understand that “thank you” can go a long way, to brighten your journey as you travel on your way.
