FOTO FRIDAY: PRETTY AS A PICTURE

 FOTO FRIDAY this week was taken at the Heights Spring Soiree yesterday late afternoon at Tipton & Hurst and its creator of this fantastic charcuterie definitely stole the show from the flowers. 

 

Last week's FOTO FRIDAY was FUSED

TBT: LITTLE ROCK CENTRAL HIGH HISTORIC SITE

There's one stop that is a must for any of my household guests and the Happy Bookers were no exception. Actually it is thanks to President Bill Clinton who ensured Central High School become a National Historic site under the auspices of the U.S Park system.  It is the only school to have this status.

A special treat is also having a former Central student now a U.S. Park Ranger give the initial introduction to Little Rock Cental High and its message of inequality of public education during Brown vs Brown Public Schools in 1954. Then Governor Faubus called in the National Guard to help de escalate a very volatile situation when nine brave black high students sought an equal education in their own neighborhood.

Note below the poster of the Central Nine who braved the injustice for an equal opportunity for education.

We must still remind our legislators the importance of providing equality in public education for all and to fund it appropriately.

TBT: SIBLING DAY BROS & FROS

My parents always were special in their card and gift giving... we still laugh about this one . When one's Dad is in the sperm banking business we kids always wondered who our parents really were!

MIDWEEK MUSINGS: SURREAL

Forecasted clouds and rain must have chased away the  500K supposed eclipse out-of-town guests to Arkansas.  Restaurants had geared up for all that business but with a no-show, they used social media to notify their patrons they had cooked for the masses to please come patronize their businesses.

Even Sunday the streets were eerily deserted.  Would we really get a glimpse of an eclipse? The 80 degree day was intense heat but when that moon blocked thsun it was incredible how quickly the temp dropped. 

And afterwards the presence of sunlight created an almost surreal lighting.  Was it its absence which intensified color.

 WOW now an eclipse is a lot more impressive than one might imagine.
