103 dollars a day

Isabelle Henderson's Guide to Retiring on 103 dollars a day

I want to thank all of you who voted for this gallery - The past year and a half with Mom has been a joyful exploration. As you can judge by her photos, she is a young senior and we look forward to many years of love and laughs. I can't think of many her age who could adapt so happily to a house full of cats, birds, bats and cameras. I told her a year ago I was going to put together her book titled Isabelle Hendersons Guide To Retiring On $103 a day. She laughed endlessly. I am thrilled you are laughing with us. Well, gotta go, Mom wants to go out to eat.

WELL!...here we are a few years later and a lot of dining out under our belts...I have added a gallery of our restaurant rambles at the end of this gallery...Hope to see you there...Toni

Toni, you are a very gifted story teller both with your narrative and your images. Thanks for an entertaining time that put a smile on my face.

Absolutely charming and exceptionally done mini-drama.
Thanks for visiting.
Aloha

My "pudding" reference was a self-refutation of my earlier expression of a desire for pudding, and has nothing to do with any custard products.

Calling Creme' Brulee (a custard) pudding is like comparing sex to a handshake

I guess I savage the depth of these photos because I'm basically a photographic hack. I've never been very good at "found art," and can barely manage to get a decent picture of my cats. I'm not really all that big on pudding, either.

Thank you so much Jill.

Toni..I found this gallery to be so delightful, smile provoking and well must admit I identify as well. Your Mother has the most wonderful expressions, love her hats. Priceless photographs.
Toni Moore 18-Sep-2004 21:42
I fear I've been found out
Guest 18-Sep-2004 18:24
This must be so very, very deep, somehow. Perhaphs my rancid brains keep me from fathoming the deepness. It's just all so...deep. I want pudding.

French onion soup made my day. The picture tells the story.
