6 January 2012 - An Afternoon, Folded, Put Away

January 5, 2012 Greg Traverso Uncategorized

The time passes here marked and jewelled by ordinary things. We like it and them that way. The fun is in the creases. Know what I mean?

Courage's lap casual take.

Jest settin' on the porch a spell of an afternoon.

Joshua, whose birthday was Wednesday, in the two-handed, groin stretch style.

Peter's meditative, budding Benedictine monk posture.

Jeff's modified, side-saddle, look.

The hurdler's stretch fold.

Lucky's "happy to be here folding" groove.

Pretty soon there was one pile per boy.

John emerged as a sock specialist.

When we’re not folding clothes we’re out getting ’em dirty. Just a snake eating its tail, I guess, and happy on the way.

So long for now,

David

Hi Michalyn,

We could all do with a day or two in the school house here. Thanks for your prayers.

Are those Barbies taught/required to fold their own clothes, too?

Dear Toe,
The Barbies, as most right thinking people know, are currently required only to look nice. But I’m tossing around the idea of giving them mohawks and requiring them to start an Occupy plastic surgeons offices.

Whadaya think?
