A Memorial

Thom's mother, Helen Hammond Hill, passed away on October 2, 2008. She was 91 years old. A beautiful memorial service was held at Glenaire Retirement Village where she lived for the last eight years. It was a joyful occasion, as she is now reunited with her husband of 58 years, Louis.

Life goes on!

These are pictures of my grand-nephew, Louis. He is named after Thom's father. At the memorial service for Helen, we snapped a great shot of Grandmother Irene (Thom's sister) and Grandpa Josh holding the next generation. One life goes and another carries on!

Car Fire

One Friday morning we got an alarm that there was a car fire in our subdivision. We raced out and found the car fully engulfed. Thom drove engine 43 and Engine 4 came from downtown Black Mountain. We put the fire out with foam, but as you can see there was nothing left of it. The cause of the fire? Mice had built a nest under the hood and when the nest and all their winter food provisions got hot the car burst into flames.

What's blooming on October 1st?

Morning Glories!!

Nasturtiums!

BookOpolis - September 26, 2008

The 2008 BookOpolis show at Bookworks in Asheville, NC was wonderful this year. The next several posts show some of the books and the Interlude Editions Fundraiser for the year. To the left is one of my favorites in the show - Girl in the World. Enjoy the next few psots showing some pictures from the show!

This was the book that evoked the most emotion in me - Letters Never Sent to Evelyn. Pictures were used from an old typing textbook and a college yearbook from the 1930's.

Here is the wonderful book made by my friend Clara. I wish you could see it in person! it is full of color, texture, and oh yes, LAYERS!!

Bookworks sponsored a series of little books to raise money for Interlude editions. One of the books is by Lisa Blackburn (can you believe she made 30 of these??). A "home" for the books, made by Sandy Webster, was created. Chances were sold and the winner was Phil Diehn, Gwen's husband. Gwen had an edition in this 2008 series.
