Coming up at the Historical Society of Frankford on October 8th

Lecture for October 8th at The Historical Society of Frankford will be a show of lantern slides produced by the members of The Frankford Camera Club.

The club was founded in 1889 and made it’s home at the Wright’s Institute for about 50 years. They were a group of men and women who were amateur photographers during an age when the technology was becoming available to everyone.

Come view these slides on our projector called a Balopticon that dates from around 1914.

Lecture begins at 7:30 pm followed by light refreshments. Open to all free of charge. Donations gratefully accepted.

Life Decisions

LIFE DECISIONS


Is this the beginning or is this end, is this a sentimental journey or are we just friends.
Should we forget about the years, and hold back the tears for the time that we spend together.
Running in and out of this thing we call life, falling down a hole that is as black as charcoal.
Are we lovers or are we friends, walking down this road that I think will lead to the end.
One day you will step out of the darkness, and declare we’re more than lovers and we’re more than friends.
While walking down that road, that will end.
More than lovers always friends.

Back to School

Back to School

 

I hope you read my letter and shared it with your friends, and show them how mean you’ve been from beginning to end.

Knowing we were more than friends, from elementary to Junior High.

Now you’re with your friends and talking Jive, with a gun in your hand but no real plans, dropped out of school now who’s the fool ?

So get it together, and go back to school,  and show them with education you can still rule.

I LOVE YOU MORE

I LOVE YOU MORE

I love you for more reasons then you could understand,
from the bottom of your feet to the fingers on your hand.
It’s when you listen when I talk and you tell me you understand.
I love you for more reasons than you will understand.

The way you sway when you walk, your smile from cheek to cheek.
yes- I love you more then you understand.
The way you run on the beach as you kick the sand,
I love you more then you will ever understand.
