What wonderful comments you guys left me, and even a great quote! It’s like Christmas morning. So thank you with all my heart.
while we’re talking about love and hearts, i have a few pictures to share. hearts really are everywhere, in every day things.
when the neighborhood’s lamppost’s needed repainting, the historical society took donations to have it done. for a donation you could have a plaque engraved with names of your choice to put on a lamppost of your choice. we donated to get three lines. we put the heart on the 3rd.
i don’t know who the other name is.
we chose the names of our dear neighbors, who we shared the street with for 25 years. mac and lorita. she worked in the business end at schools, and he was a photographer for the LA times. we shared a lot of good times with them, even going camping. i walked the alleys with lorita for years, as she collected aluminum cans to recycle (we had no bins back then). it bought her gas and gave me exercise. we laughed a lot. they traveled the world and always had slide shows when they got home. so i’ve literally seen the whole world through her eyes.
AND YES EMILY, ART IS EVERYWHERE………
I SEE LOTS OF HEARTS IN THE KITCHEN……..
HEARTS IN THE FRONT YARD………
HEARTS GIVEN TO ME….…
HEARTS IN THE BACK YARD……..
THIS POSTER HANGS WHERE I DO HAIR AND MAKE-UP
i hope you see a heart in your day, even when you aren’t looking for one🥰
stay tuned,

Thank Amy, I’ll try to post any pictures I get.
Your tribute to your neighbors is heartwarming. And I don’t mean that as a pun. Your tour is delightful and your talent as a storyteller grows stronger with every new blog post.
But it was a good one Martha. Thank you for always being there for me.
Love is in the air, mom! You definitely have a mind of an artist. The heart shaped potato is rare, they all look cool and unique!
That potato hart look like it would be had to peal and eat….
What a wonderful tribute to Mac and Lorita, and I know it was with so much love. Beautiful post. Love it. Celia
Heart stands for love – God’s love is everywhere, especially in our hearts as we think of those we love – like you and Jerry! Love you, Sharon
i think its so cool that you can see hearts everywhere. i try to look for some but i don’t find many.
Really nice dedication for Mac and Lorita – what street is that lamp post on? Great pictures of hearts, too! Love the color in the red bell pepper shot.
