Several years ago, I visited San Francisco with my brother, sister-in-law and their 5 year old little girl. My little niece asked, “Where are we going?” “Fisherman’s Wharf,” her mom replied. As we approached the wharf in our car, the air was ripe with the smell of fish. My niece wrinkled her nose and with disgust in voice said, “The fisherman’s wife sure stinks!”
I think of that story eveytime I visit the wharf….
Here is my entry for the Geographic Composition theme “Games”. I took it San Francisco on Fisherman’s Wharf. On our recent visit, we discovered a museum filled with all these old mechanical games – it was pretty cool. I think this arm wrestling game is the same one that Julie Andrews wrestled with in The Princess Diaries. My girls may never wash their hands again…hmmmm.
Make sure to take a look at the other Geographic Composition entries!
I just heard about Monk & Neagle….we sang this beautiful song yesterday:
Oh my and this one is so great….
Hi there! In Baz Luhrmann’s epic, Australia, the little boy Nullah says at the movie’s end, “that’s why we tell…the stories…so they know they are belonging to us.”
Now, you’re here because you have a story to be told. Are you getting married? Having a baby? Celebrating a friendship or family? All of these are stories and theses stories tell of your “belongingness”…of your belonging to a larger story…a story that matters…a story that connects you with people you love and want to remember… and to people who love you and want to remember you.
Your story matters. And I so love a good story. That’s what this site is about.
